About this spot

Trou d'Eau Douce – Île aux Cerfs is a kitesurf spot in Mauritius. The whole beachfront of Trou d'Eau Douce is kiteable in winter (June to November); the lagoon is particularly wide, mostly shallow and smooth. You can launch almost anywhere on the beach, best in the east near the reef with plenty of space. Île aux Cerfs works very well with SSE; the flat-water spot "Joyride" at the outer reef can only be reached by shuttle boats to Île aux Cerfs. Downwinders in the lagoon from Belle Mare to here (about 20 km) only with organised safety cover.

The spot works best with wind from SE, S, E; the windiest period is Jun–Nov. The water is mostly flat. It suits intermediates and advanced riders.
