Overview

Kiteloopers lists 26 kitesurfing spots for Mauritius, across 7 regions. Each spot page covers month-by-month wind, water type, recommended level and a map of the spot.

In Mauritius, kitesurfing takes place in a very varied setting, between large protected lagoons, windward coast, and some more challenging spots on the reef. The most reliable period generally runs from May to October, with the southeast trade winds regularly returning and sessions often well-winded, especially on the west, southwest, and east coasts. Le Morne is the most iconic spot, with a vast shallow lagoon perfect for progression, while areas like Palmar or Pointe d’Esny also offer beautiful calmer waters. Conversely, some more exposed sectors can become technical with waves, shallow reefs, and shorebreak, especially for those aiming for wave riding. Overall, it provides a very complete kite destination, suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, as long as you choose the spot according to your level.
