About This Spot
Riambel, Mauritius is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Mauritius.
Situated in Africa, the spot offers Shallow and Flat and Chop water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With SE winds, peaking from June to October, Riambel, Mauritius delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Best winds from June to October. During cyclone season it can blow 15-25 kts many days per week. This bay works well on most east oriented winds and can accept wind shifts better than further down the coast.
When to Go
The best season stretches from May to November with water temperatures between 22°C and 26°C and air temperatures between 22°C and 30°C. Short rain showers possible all year round.
What to Expect
Very wide and shallow lagoon that can only be ridden at high tide, but this is quite a unique experience as the water is still fairly shallow. This gives for very smooth conditions and hardly any chop even in the strongest of winds. Make sure to ride there only on the highest tidal levels, as some fields of urchins nearer the reef will make you regret it if you don'’t. Beware of the westerly, or downwind area of this lagoon, here the current gets strong towards the channel in the reef, and has sucked out many unaware bathers.
