About the kitesurfing Location

Bel Ombre – the ultimate Kite Spot

Bel Ombre, also located in the south-west of Mauritius -is still an untouched and small fisher-place. As it is multifaceted, it is therefore suited for beginners, mid-level or advanced kite-surfers. The lagoon is large, has flat water and waves reaching out to the reef, making it the ideal spot for families or friends.

Kitesurfing conditions in Bel Ombre

When the wind blows to the side of the shore from the left, it is perfect to take the kite to the 10pm position and walk 10-20m into the lagoon before starting. The whole area is surrounded by a reef line which is typical for Mauritius. The same is for Bel Ombre as it is separated into a wave spot and a really large area to stand.

This standing area, which is around 700m by 300m large, is ideal for beginners. As there are a few coral, we advise you to wear shoes for your own safety. From the beach, you can see a slightly dark long stretched line, around 20x60m long, which is grass. This part is mainly used for teaching lessons and is followed by a turquoise part where the water is slightly deeper. This is best for kitesurfers at low-tide or for teaching from the boat. In this area, there are about 80m long and 8m wide lines with corals, marked with a red buoy. Kitesurfers can go over it but are not allowed to jump or pass in low tide conditions.

After passing the 300m long lagoon, the kite surfer has to be careful in low tide conditions as this is the starting point of the reef. Behind this reef lies the open ocean with wave conditions suitable for beginners. There are also good conditions for advanced kitesurfers in the Lee direction (wave is comparable to One Eye). At this place, you can surf waves, ranging from 1m up to 4m in height. It is ideally for good kitesurfers and for those who have started doing rolling swirls. You should still be cautious as the waves are quite high and it even reaches a strong current. At low tide, you will have to walk about 80m. As we conduct our kitesurfing activity there, it is never over-crowded and the water is spacious most of the time, offering you the best!
