I’ve just uploaded a website that contains an interactive lagoon tide simulator. It lets you play with different parameters like swell height or how open/closed the lagoon is and instantly draws a graph with the tides and shows when the current in a pass is in or outgoing. Experimenting with this simulator may help understanding lagoon passes better. Just follow this link.

We made several new friends with locals and enjoyed Polynesian hospitality over and over. We started our tour in January 2018 from Rapa Iti in the Austral Islands and we are back in Rapa… Continue reading »
