Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Lavanono Point is a coastal beach break located on Madagascar's southern coast, characterized by a sandy beach facing east into the Indian Ocean. The spot features a lagoon system behind the beach with shallow water and scattered vegetation, transitioning to deeper ocean waters with consistent south-facing swell exposure. Wave conditions average 1.92m with variable quality depending on swell direction. Wind conditions are marginal with an average of 10.8 knots and only 36.9% reliability, suggesting this location may not be ideal for consistent kitesurfing sessions. The coastline's eastward orientation makes northerly and southerly winds most suitable for side-shore conditions. Visible rocky outcrops and reef structures along the shoreline require careful navigation. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with variable wind and moderate swell conditions. Best conditions occur during high wind periods when prevailing northerly winds align with the coastline, though predictability remains a significant limiting factor.
