Beach and Tide Conditions
Recommended tide for kitesurfing is High Tide,Coming Tide,Falling Tide .
Grand Gaube, Mauritius is a Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.
The launching/landing area is reported to be of Small size.
Beach is made up of fine sand, not very wide or long with a few rocky patches.
Similar lagoon to Anse la Raie, but a bit choppier conditions due to bigger openings in the reef. The first few yards in the water you have to contend with fishing boats that are anchored near the shore, thereafter it is plain sailing to the reef if you have a bit of tide. Not recommended at low tide because of numerous too shallow patches. The shallow water of this lagoon makes low tide riding a scary and sometimes expensive experience (fins). This lagoon has many traps in the form of coral heads and patches, however if you cruise upwind you will find very clear waters and good sailing zones within the bay of “Ilot Bernacheâ€

Additional information
A parking is available at Grand Gaube, Mauritius.
The fishermen rule in Grand Gaube, so show them respect and give them a wide berth on the water, and you will not have any problems. 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.
