The islands of Mauritius (consisting of Mauritius main island, Rodrigues and La Reunion), is nestled in the warm, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa. Mauritius is one of the best Windsurf Holiday destinations on the Planet. Mauritius also offers the option to combine your trip with other exciting destinations like South Africa or Dubai for a multi-faceted holiday experience.
Mauritius is often hailed as one of the world’s premier Ocean Sports destinations, and it’s easy to see why. For windsurfers, the island delivers an unparalleled combination of consistent trade winds, crystal-clear flatwater lagoons, and accessible world-class wave spots—all within a single location at Le Morne. Pair these natural features with Mauritius’ luxurious yet affordable accommodations, and you have a windsurfing paradise.
The prime windsurfing season runs from May to December, with the most consistent winds typically occurring between July and October. However, even outside these months, conditions remain excellent for windsurfing, making Mauritius a year-round destination. Mauritius is also an excellent destination to avoid the severe European summer heat, with an average temperature in the Mauritius winter between 25 and 30’c
An added bonus is that the windy season coincides with the island’s low tourism season. While most travellers aim to avoid the wind, windsurfers benefit from lower hotel prices during this period. This unique overlap means you can enjoy both exceptional windsurfing conditions and fantastic value for luxury accommodation.
