The Kitesurfing In Bel Ombre Mauritius
The wind in Bel Ombre generally blows side to side-on shore from the left. The entire area is surrounded by a reef belt, very typical for Mauritius, providing super wave conditions outside the reef and perfect flat water conditions inside.
There are some coral patches within the lagoon, so for beginners we recommend boots. From the beach you see a slightly darker long stretch of water, about 20 x 60m long, which is grass, this area is mainly for teaching lessons. Beyond this, the water turns to a beautiful turquoise colour, where it is somewhat deeper, perfect for kiters at low tide or for teaching from a boat. Here, there is an area, approximately 80m long and 8m wide, with coral that is marked with red buoys. Kiters can go over it at high tide, but are not supposed to jump or pass in low tide conditions.
In the 300m long lagoon, kiters have to pay attention as, in low tide conditions, the reef comes close to the surface. Behind this reef is the open ocean with great wave conditions for more advanced kiters.
