Beach and Tide Conditions

Rodrigues / La Passe Sud Est, Mauritius is a
Shallow, Flat, Chop, Medium waves and Big waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Small size.
Best access spot is at the hotel beach, or right next to it if you are not staying at the hotel. This is fine white sand and the entry is trouble free. A bit of grass has to be dealt with if you choose a lower tide.
Giant lagoon with flat water and some reform waves available. Tide can be a problem, and special care must be taken as the sea bed is covered with stag horn coral which is very sharp and breakable. Most of this spot is flat to very flat water riding, specially just inside the reefs edge where the broken waves flatten out the water in the lagoon. The reform waves will be found if you sail upwind towards the East, Northeast, just on the inner edge of the barrier at high tide. The reef here offers a perfect small break that runs an awesome wave for about 50-80 m. Some really serious surf is to be had passed L'Isle Aux Oiseaux, but it is so far that you will have to get a boat with local knowledge to take you there.

Always be extra careful in lagoons when approaching channels and passes, the current will surprise you very often and you will get sucked out to sea before you know it. Usually sharks also like to hang around there, as they can just sit and gobble up the morsels that come ripping past. Around the island there are a lot of fish, so every boat has its rod or hand line for fishing which is constantly in use, so do not pass to near boats as you might get caught up like a fish. Behind moving boats there are often trawling lines, these are a great trap.
