Kite Lagoon

Kite Lagoon is a protected lagoon on the northeastern coast of Mauritius, offering shallow warm-water kitesurfing in a reef-enclosed environment. The spot features a northeastern-facing coastline with an extensive sandy beach and dense mangrove vegetation inland. The lagoon is bounded by coral reef structures that create natural wave damping and provide protection from open-ocean swell. Water conditions are typically calm with modest 2m average waves, making this suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water sessions. The low wind reliability (25.6%) and moderate average wind speeds (9.3 knots) suggest this is a seasonal destination requiring patience for consistent conditions. Best wind direction is northwest, providing side-shore access along the beach. The shallow lagoon bottom and enclosed reef system offer safety benefits but require awareness of tidal changes and shallow areas. Most suitable for riders comfortable with reef navigation and limited exit zones. Visibility can be reduced due to sediment suspension and algae growth common in tropical lagoons.
