Kitesurfing in Black River
3 spots · 2 destinations · 15 schools
Flic-en-Flac is the marginal option on Mauritius' west coast, not one of the island's dependable trade-wind bays.
The long public beach only turns kiteable on occasional southern-summer wind shifts between December and March, and most sources rate it advanced given the offshore-leaning wind and shared traffic from swimmers and divers.
Black River holds 3 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 2 destinations. Riding here is mostly waves. Something is rideable here in every month of the year. 1 of them suits beginners. 15 schools operate in the region. The busiest areas are Le Morne and Le Morne (outer reef).
When you may ride
the rules these spots carry, with the year on each
Le MorneLe Morne20152015: the Tourism Authority (Kite Surfing) Regulations are the national instrument for kitesurfing, but the text is not published among the Tourism Authority's downloadable legislation, so what actually binds a rider on the water is the school and Beach Authority briefing.
One EyeLe Morne (outer reef)20162016: jet skis may not be operated in a navigational area for private or commercial purposes, so no jet ski does rescue work anywhere in Mauritius and any pickup out here arrives by boat.
Flic-en-FlacWest coast2026As of 2026 no kite-specific local rule was found for Flic-en-Flac, but this is a public beach and the national public-beach regulation made in 2004 under the Beach Authority Act applies.
