Kitesurf Holidays To Le Morne In Mauritius

• Little Reef: A great starting point for beginners looking to try wave riding.

The Kitesurf Spots

Le Morne, at the foot of the famous landmark, the impressive Le Morne Brabant Mountain, in the southern part of the island, offers everything kitesurfers could wish for. The spot is well suited for all kitesurfing abilities. The constant southeast trade winds, which blow all day long in the summer months, make for excellent kiting. These winds that have travelled 4000 miles over the sea are very consistent and clean.

The Kitesurf Learner Lagoon - We can organise kitesurfing lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced kiteboarders. For beginners, we use the large lagoon with its fantastic knee-deep flat water, on the windward side of the centre. This is the safest spot for both learning to kitesurf and for improving your kitesurfing skills. Inside the lagoon and especially in front of the station, small coral clumps, shells and marine animals can be found in the water, so we recommend everybody to wear shoes.

Independent Kitesurf Spot - The kitesurfing spot for those who can consistently ride upwind at a minimum level is situated directly on the main kite beach, where the wind blows consistently side shore from the left. Here, you can blast across the lagoon on shallow water protected from waves by the outer reef, located about 600m offshore. The reef is relatively smooth and is about 1m below the surface, allowing you to ride down the 1-2 m waves without risk. If conditions are right, the kitesurf spot is also suitable for wave-riding novices making their first attempts at surfing down waves.

Advanced Kitesurf wave riding Le Morne - For the more advanced kitesurfers, here are four main waves at Le Morne : Little Reef: Ideal for beginners looking to start wave navigation. Chameau and Manawa: Located a bit further offshore, these waves are higher and more powerful but with greater depth. They are suitable for intermediate levels. One Eye: This wave is characterized by shallow waters and considerable power. It is reserved for experienced wave riders with their own kite, wing, or windsurfing equipment.

The Weather In Maritius, Le Morne

There are broadly two seasons in Mauritius: the hot humid Summer (November - Apr) and the cooler, windy Winter (May to October). The warmest months are December to February, when temperatures are in the mid 30's, with the risk of tropical cyclones in late Jan / early Feb. The cooler wind season from May to November has temperatures starting from mid 20's getting progressively warmer up to the low 30's. Although you can get wind all year round in Mauritius, the prime season is June to November, with the top month being August to October.

Mauritius is a great location for a warm, windy Holiday in the European summer, to escape the excessive heat of Europe and the Middle East.

Families And Kids In Le Morne

Mauritius is one of the best family holiday destinations on the Planet, with many of the hotels offering excellent child care and babysitting. Most of the beachfront resorts we work with have excellent kids clubs catering for 4-11-year-olds. The JW Marriott is especially good, with an extended 'teens' activities program. Mauritius is also considered one of the safest holiday locations, with excellent medical services should the need arise.

On the water, there are lots of fun activities, both wind and motor-driven. The flat water lagoon in Le Morne is an excellent spot for kids taking their first steps into Windsurfing, Wing Foiling or Kitesurfing. Safety is always the top priority, and our partner watersport centre has all the best equipment for children to use, including special iRigs for smaller windsurfers.

Off the water, there are some great family activities and days out. Highlights include The Nile Crocodiles and Giant Tortoises Park, Dolphin watching trips from Tamarind Bay, Casela Nature Park to see the big cats and even 'Walk with the Lion's (min age requirements), and much more.
