The Conditions

This corner of Mauritius has superb conditions with warm water and reliable, consistent wind for windsurfers and kiters, for debutante and expert, for flatwater and waves, every conceivable discipline is on your doorstep.

The predominant wind is the Southeast Trade, strongest from May to November, blowing for over 300 days a year above Force 4.  At Le Morne which stands like a sentinel at the very tip of the island, the direction is cross, cross onshore in the more expert areas,  and, almost onshore in the beginners and training areas.  Directly in front of the launch is a glorious flatwater lagoon, extending out for about 800m to the reef break.  The reef has two specific named wave areas, Manawa and One Eye which are either side of the channel that feeds the lagoon.  For easier sailing Manawa can equally be challenged head on or by using the channel and dropping in behind the classic wave riding conditions that can be found.  For the adrenalin seekers One Eye can be awesome with on its day two mast high waves created by the sudden drop-off of the reef into the deep blue Indian Ocean.  Caution must be taken when sailing on the outside as the current is extremely strong taking anybody with problems away from Le Morne.

For lesser mortals and for those starting off in either windsurfing or kiting, turn left at the end of the beach and another world opens up with a huge flatwater lagoon that runs for over a mile to the east.  The wind is softer in this area due to the protection of the coast line upwind and the buffer action of the rock faces of Le Morne. The ideal venue for learning and tasting the sports in perfect safety.
