Baie du Cap Jetty
Mauritius · Savanne
Baie du Cap Jetty in Le Morne, in the southwest of Mauritius, is a popular spot for its protected lagoon at the foot of the Morne Brabant mountain. The small sandy beach is bordered by grass and concrete areas on one side, with a relaxed atmosphere favored by locals and kite schools.
The spot offers an ideal setting between the steady wind of the trade winds and the shallow waters of the bay. It is an authentic place where one often kites in view of the peninsula and the waves offshore for the more experienced.
Close to hotels and centers like ION Club, it combines accessibility and varied conditions year-round.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The main wind is a southeast trade wind, which blows side-off on the lagoon, slightly onshore, making navigation stable and safe for drifting. The launch area is small, on a narrow sandy beach, so one must choose their spot carefully to take off and land without disturbing other riders. The main riding area is the large shallow lagoon, perfect for slaloming, with water up to waist height for several hundred meters; moving outward, one finds chop and small to medium waves for freestyle or wave riding.
Depending on the tides, high tide is recommended as it widens the launch beach and softens the water surface; at low tide, the water remains shallow but the beach shrinks and the bottom can become more technical with compact sand. The best sessions are when the wind rises to 15-25 knots during cyclone season or with the trade winds, making the spot navigable in most southeast conditions. Local feature: venturi effect created by the Morne mountain that accelerates the wind, and the presence of schools with boats for premium access to calm areas away from the crowd.
