Le Morne

Le Morne is a reef break located on the southwestern coast of Mauritius, facing northwest into open ocean. The spot features a protected lagoon separated from the ocean by coral reef formations, creating distinct water zones. Dark patches visible in the satellite imagery indicate reef structures, coral gardens, and shallow areas that define the break. The lagoon provides some protection while offering access to reef-generated waves. Average conditions show 2m waves with 39% wind reliability at 10.7 knots, suggesting variable performance. Best wind direction is northeast (45°), providing side-shore conditions. The spot suits intermediate to advanced kiters due to reef hazards and required local knowledge of safe channels and break points. Water temperatures average 25°C. The development visible on shore indicates accessible facilities. Kiters must understand reef navigation, respect local conditions, and account for seasonal wind patterns. Low wind reliability during average conditions suggests targeting seasonal swells and consistent wind periods.
