Le Morne Lagoon

Le Morne Lagoon is a sheltered lagoon system on Mauritius's southwestern coast, facing westward into the Indian Ocean. The spot features a protected shallow-water environment bounded by a sandy beach, dense forest coverage, and visible reef and rock formations. The lagoon's enclosed nature provides natural wind acceleration and wave moderation compared to open ocean conditions. Wind reliability at 39.1% suggests inconsistent conditions; best sessions occur during southern or northern wind flows providing side-shore conditions. Average wave heights of 2.04m are modest, typical for lagoon environments with limited ocean swell penetration. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected water with manageable wave sizes. Key considerations include monitoring shallow depth in certain areas, respecting visible reef structures, and avoiding the developed residential zone. Water conditions appear rough in places, suggesting tidal influences and potential current variations. Optimal wind direction is northerly (0°) for side-shore access along the western-facing coast.
