Kitesurfing Mauritius - world class waves - an Indian Ocean beauty.

Kitesurfing Mauritius has gained popularity among kiteboarding and wave hungry tourists visiting Mauritius. It is the Southern end of the West coast that offer the best Kite and windsurfing conditions.

Kitesurfing Le Morne: Kitefacts
Best winds: May - October
Wind Conditions:15- 30knots, South East
Water Temp: Boardshorts or shorty
Water Type: Perfect Waves and Lagoon flat water
Weather: Sunny Tropical

The huge lagoon of the La Prairie / Baie du Cap lagoon, provides a shallow and safe environment and allows downwind glides to Le Morne in the steady South easterly winds which are accentuated by the landscape to blow strong and consistently. the focal point of kitesurfing in Mauritius is Le Morne. This fabulous lagoon surrounded by the reef about 600m out is suitable for both beginners and professionals wanting to push their limits while kitesurfing Mauritius. Beginners should be cautious of currents when learning here and it can get crowded as it is the best kiting in Mauritius.

Outside the lagoon of Le Morne, there are two spots: MANAWA and ONE-EYE great kitesurfing waves which if you want to kitesurf waves, these will blow you away!

Manawa reef is about 800m out and can hold swells from 1m - 8m in cross onshore conditions - it can get huge! on the inside you find closer reefs which can get busy with windsurfers and has a variety of waves.

One Eye is a world class wave and you will be pushed to your limits even as a very experienced wave kiter. But this wave will give you rides to wet you wildest dreams...Be warned that its pretty hairy out there and if you have to get rescued it could co$t you!

Mauritius will not disappoint and is a great and unique change from the Maui's, Dominican's and Caribbean side of island life with a touch of France, a hint of Africa and a sprinkle of Asia in the mix - go and explore!
