One Eye

One Eye is a reef-based kitesurfing spot located on the northeast coast of Mauritius, characterized by a dramatic underwater topography with exposed reef formations and significant depth variations. The lagoon area features scattered rocks and boulders visible in the shallow turquoise water, with a pronounced reef edge creating substantial depth transitions. The spot faces northeast into open ocean, with the coastline backed by forested cliffs and limited development. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds providing reliable side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The water shows clear current patterns through color gradation, indicating complex hydrodynamics typical of reef-exposed locations. Average wind speeds of 10.7 knots and 2-meter waves suggest variable conditions. This spot requires advanced skill due to reef hazards, shallow water navigation, and current exposure. Kiters should exercise caution regarding underwater obstacles, limited safe exit zones, and potential strong currents during certain tide cycles. The low wind reliability (39.1%) means sessions should be planned around forecast windows.
