Anse la Raie

Anse la Raie is a protected lagoon spot on the northeast coast of Mauritius, characterized by shallow turquoise waters and scattered rock formations. The lagoon faces northeast with rocky outcrops visible throughout the water. This is a sheltered environment suitable for beginners due to small average wave heights (1.17m) and calm water conditions. Best wind direction is northwest (315°), which provides side-shore conditions for the northeast-facing coast. The spot is heavily residential with coastal development, which creates wind disruption and limits effective wind windows. Wind reliability at 28.3% indicates inconsistent conditions requiring patience between sessions. Water temperatures average 25.2°C year-round. The shallow lagoon with scattered rocks requires careful navigation and is not suitable for high-speed maneuvers. Ideal for kiters learning the fundamentals in protected waters, though limited wind availability and small wave heights restrict progression opportunities.
