Isle aux Cerfs

Isle aux Cerfs is a small island off the southeast coast of Mauritius with an enclosed lagoon environment. The island is surrounded by shallow turquoise waters with sandbars, coral patches, and vegetation that create a naturally protected setting. The southeastern shoreline faces into the lagoon where water conditions are mild and contained by the island's geography. This spot functions as a protected lagoon break with consistent shallow water and light wave development. The low wind reliability (19.5%) and modest average waves (1.96m) indicate this is not a high-energy venue. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds that blow parallel to the southeastern shore, generating side-shore conditions for safe kiting. The shallow, protected waters and minimal wave action make this suitable for beginners and early intermediate kiters developing board control skills. The tight space and scattered obstacles require careful navigation and awareness. Strong tidal flows between lagoon sections and shallow sand banks demand respect for water movement. This spot suits progression in calm conditions rather than wave-riding or freestyle sessions.
