  abstract = {{T}he currents flowing across the rim of the atoll of {R}aroia were investigated with a 1 year-long dataset of wave, water level and currents. {O}ffshore waves break on the edge of the reef outside the atoll's rim and drive current into the lagoon, through the shallow hoa that cut across the rim. {T}he additional water volume generated by this wave driven flow induces an elevation of water level throughout the atoll's lagoon and is evacuated back into the open ocean through a deep reef pass. {T}he water level inside the atoll is also driven by astronomical tides, which enter the lagoon thought the reef pass, after undergoing a similar to 50% decrease in amplitude and a similar to 4 hour lag. {U}sing a simple parametric model with three calibrated coefficients, we show that currents across the atoll's rim can be estimated as a function of the offshore wave conditions and the water level difference between the ocean and the lagoon.},
