Wind specificities

Mauritius normally offers very reliable wind conditions from June to October. This period is known for its favorable wind blowing between 15 and 25 knots. But with foil equipment, you can extend this period; I was very lucky during my last trip during Easter holidays. Don't forget that during July-August it's winter there! The prevailing wind is from the SE.

Hazards

For foil enthusiasts primarily, be careful of corals when accessing the immense lagoon. Follow the kite center's instructions.
