About This Spot
Murrebue is a shallow coastal lagoon in Mozambique's eastern shoreline, characterized by extensive tidal flats and seagrass meadows. The lagoon faces eastward toward the Indian Ocean, with a narrow beach strip separating it from deeper water. The spot features minimal wave energy (0.78m average) and extremely low wind reliability at only 0.4%, making it primarily suitable for very light-wind conditions. The shallow depth (typically 1-3 meters) and abundant vegetation provide a protected environment but require careful route planning to avoid seagrass beds and soft bottom areas. Best wind conditions arrive from the north, creating side-shore conditions along the beach. This spot suits beginners and those seeking extremely mellow conditions with minimal hazard exposure. Kiters should expect low-energy sessions with little swell contribution and rely entirely on wind generation. Knowledge of tidal patterns is essential, as shallow areas become even more restricted during low tide. The protected nature means minimal wave performance but maximum safety for progression.
