Grand Gaube Beach
Mauritius · Rivière du Rempart
The beach of Grand Gaube, located on the north coast of Mauritius in Rivière du Rempart, is a quiet spot favored by riders for its vast lagoon and easy public access. Just 200 meters from the royal road, it offers a peaceful setting with few people, ideal for a relaxed session away from the crowds.
Close to Grand Gaube and near Port Louis, it is an authentic place where local fishermen anchor their boats near the shore. Navigation takes place in a lagoon similar to that of Anse la Raie, but a bit more choppy due to the openings in the reef.
The crystal clear waters and sandy bottom make it a pleasant place, although caution is advised with the reef traps.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The main wind comes from the SE, making conditions side-onshore or sideshore perfect for the north-facing beach. In this lagoon, you mainly ride in freeride, freestyle and sometimes wave when the swell comes through. The launch requires navigating around anchored fishing boats in the first few meters, then it’s open to the reef with a bit of tide.
The launch area is on the public beach, easily accessible in less than 5 minutes. Favor upwind areas to find clear and flat water, away from coral heads. The water conditions are flat to choppy depending on the tide, choppier than at Anse la Raie due to wider openings in the reef. The passes and channels can pull you out to sea, so increased vigilance is required.
No strong tide dependency indicated by some, but high tide or rising/falling tide recommended to avoid too flat areas. Daily rescue boats on site, and few surfers even on weekends.
