When thinking of Mauritius, you automatically conjure up picture post card images of palm fringed beaches with crystal clear, fantasy blue coloured water, and in reality, those thoughts are absolutely correct. The whole island is a surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing dream offering conditions to suit everyone. Creole, French and other cultures collide to give this particular island a spicy mix of tropical vibrance that you can experience during your visit, which is a must!

Itinerary / Highlights

THE WIND
The trade winds blow all year, but the most consistent time to head to Mauritius is between May and December, where you would be unlucky not to get F6 most of the time. At Le Morne, the wind blows side shore from the left. The only thing to watch out for is the small current that runs out of the bay, but with rescue cover, this is never really a problem.
Good surf happens all year, due to the fact that storms spinning out of the South Pole will pump swell straight towards this tiny island and break along its coast, giving magazine quality waves!

THE WINDSURFING
Beginner, freeride, freestyle, entry level wave sailing and hardcore wave sailing; this place has it all. Instruction is also offered, in all three sports, so getting to that next level should be no problem with the expert tuition you will receive. If you want any specific coaching, such as wave tutition, then this is also available, albeit, in the form of one on one coaching, for safety and quality reasons.
