The Wind & Waves

You can never, ever, guarantee wind AND waves. But in October your chances of wind are pretty good, plus a high chance of swell. Hence the popularity of this winter location. There are large areas of flat water, so you can blast about. When the trades are in you’d expect to be on sail between 4.5-5.5m. It blows left to right across the beach (Port Tack). Often we’re venturing out on wave boards and with tiny, easy 'comfy pillow' style waves from one foot or check out other areas with larger more impressive waves! In previous years we've taken non-wave sailors into the waves for the first time and they loved it! For more experienced wave sailors there's waves of all sizes. But for all short boarders, you’ll think you’re in paradise, which you are!

See You There In October!

You are here: MAURITIUS
