Trois Bassins

Trois Bassins is a beach break located on the western coast of Réunion Island facing the Indian Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with multiple rocky reef formations visible in the shallow water zone, creating defined break patterns. The coastline orientation toward the west exposes the break to Atlantic swells and provides natural protection from certain wind directions. The area shows residential development immediately inland, limiting space for kite preparation. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The shallow reef and rock formations create a moderately protected environment suitable for intermediate kiters who can navigate obstacles. Water conditions appear rough with variable wave heights. This spot works best during winter swells when wave height increases to 2m+. Entry and exit require careful navigation through shallow reef zones. The limited wind reliability (5.2%) suggests seasonal variation, with better conditions during austral winter months. Suitable for kiters comfortable with reef awareness and moderate wave conditions.
