La Digue

La Digue's western coastline faces the open Indian Ocean with direct exposure to long-fetch swells. The spot features a rocky, cliff-lined shore with dense tropical vegetation extending to the water's edge. White water indicates consistent wave action from ocean swells. The terrain is steeply vegetated with minimal beach access, creating a challenging launch and landing environment. Conditions are best with northerly winds (0-45°) to maintain side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Average wind reliability of 29.3% and modest 1.22m average waves suggest inconsistent conditions. This location suits advanced kiters only, requiring experience with open ocean conditions, rocky terrain navigation, and strong currents. The limited accessible beach and exposed nature demand careful planning. Water temperature around 27.3°C is comfortable year-round. Entry and exit require careful assessment of swell and wind timing. Not recommended for beginners or intermediate riders.
