Le Port is a kitesurfing spot located on the northwest coast of Reunion Island. This urban spot offers easy access to the water and benefits from the southeast trade winds. The wind is often amplified by the Venturi effect between the hills. The ocean conditions with swell and currents make it a spot for intermediate to advanced riders. Be aware of the shark risk.
