Le Morne Lagoon, Mauritius

Direct answer: Butter-flat turquoise inside the reef, world-class waves outside it. The SE trades wrap the mountain and accelerate — expect +4 kn over forecast at the kite lawn. Deep enough for 86 cm masts everywhere except the NW corner at low tide.

Parawing-specific: A stashed wing = no visible sail. Boat traffic from the hotels cuts the lagoon 14:00–16:00 — wear hi-viz on the belt, stay off the channel line.

FAQ

Can I learn to parawing at Le Morne?

Yes — the inner lagoon is flat, waist-deep in places and has 800 m of downwind runout before the reef. Stay inside the kite-priority markers and away from the NW corner at low tide.

Which parawing size for 80 kg in July?

July trades run 18–25 kn: a 2.4–3.0 m² covers most days at 80 kg. Bring the 3.6 for the rare 15 kn morning.

Is the One Eye channel doable on a stashed wing?

Only on the biggest days with boat cover. The current in the channel outruns a swimmer — treat it as expert-only and never solo.
