Plage
Mauritius · Savanne
The beach of Riviere Des Galets, nestled in the south of Mauritius, is an internationally known kitesurfing spot. Accessible to all levels, it offers consistent waves and thrills thanks to a small reef that deflects the surf for added safety. The atmosphere is peaceful, in the midst of wild nature.
The spot is located near a coastal village, with the left wave in front of a cemetery. It is a popular place for its authentic setting and reliable wave potential all year round in the south of the island.
The conditions allow for safe surfing even for intermediates, with a wind that is often side-off, stabilizing once outside.

The spot mainly works with winds from the southeast or south, side-on or side-off relative to the west-southwest facing beach. The wind is often gusty at the beach near the cemetery, but it stabilizes once on the water after passing the low reef. The launch is done directly from the grassy beach upwind, not always easy for beginners due to gusts.
The navigation area is centered on the left wave, with heights of 2 to 3 meters max, ideal at high tide. At low tide, the reef shows and reduces space, making navigation more technical. The water is choppy near the shore, but cleaner outside where the waves form on the shallow reef. For freeriders, there is room for long runs before the main reef.
Local peculiarity: the spot is isolated, perfect for a quiet session without crowds, but one must aim for the right swell periods for consistent waves. Cautious take-off on the windy beach, and be careful with launches near trees or the cemetery.
