About This Spot
Pointe d'Esny, Mauritius is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Mauritius.
Situated in Africa, the spot offers Flat and Chop and Small waves water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With NNE–NE–ENE winds, peaking from June to October, Pointe d'Esny, Mauritius delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
SE trade wind period, making the good time of the year a real treat as you can kite day and night, there is such consistent wind. The spot works well with any wind from North through to SSE, Le Morne doesn't work well (in the lagoon if the wind is ESE round to the north) as the the wind is gusty coming over the mountains. The best months are June to September, but I have had excellent conditions through to November and starting in April.
When to Go
Around the low 20's°C in winter and upper 20-30's°C in summer.
What to Expect
Probably the biggest lagoon of the island. The water is pretty flat on the south side, and the further north you sail the choppier it gets, specially near the big sea channels. Although the southern end has a nice wave spot, this is not adapted to kiting or windsurfing as it is hidden from the wind. The water is particularly clear in this lagoon, making the sessions there always memorable. Beware of the strong current between the coast and Ile aux Aigrettes, this is in the same direction as the wind and makes upwind rides all the more difficult.

Facilities & Access
📍 Getting There
🚶Short walk to the beach
Very close to the airport, you will probably see it well upon landing. Rental car or taxi. There are two official access points which are pretty hard to find: One is about halfway through the locality and consists of a narrow pathway from the main road to the beach. The other is just on the northern boundary of the private yacht club situated opposite Ile aux Aigrette.
