Pointe Jerome
Mauritius · Grand Port
Pointe Jerome is a kitesurfing spot located in Mahebourg, in the southeast of Mauritius, just 15 minutes from the airport. The beach belongs to the Preskil resort and offers a simple setting with fine sand, a few palm trees, and a tranquil atmosphere favored by locals.
Close to Grand Port, it is a convenient place for quick sessions after a flight, with a small sandy beach and amenities like food on site. Access is easy from Mahebourg, ideal for combining kiting and exploring the island.
The spot is known for its varied water conditions and reliable trade-wind during the southern winter season.
The dominant wind comes from the E, ESE, and SE, providing a perfect side-on on this southeast-facing beach. The water is flat and choppy, with a spacious riding area in front of the beach, but the launch and take-off area is small due to the narrow beach.
High tide is recommended as it facilitates launching and landing on the narrow sandy beach. Watch for obstacles at the edge: a small concrete bridge and submerged rocks or concrete near the shore. Navigation takes place in a protected lagoon, with onlookers sometimes present on the beach.
Rescuers are on site for safety, and food is available. Taking off requires caution due to the palm trees and small space, but once launched, the spot offers stable conditions for all maneuvers.
