Table of contents

Reunion Island, with its lagoons and varied coastlines, offers many excellent wingfoil spots, suitable for all levels. Here’s a selection of spots for beginners and experts alike.

THE BEST SAILING SPOTS

SPOTS FOR BEGINNERS

  • Lagon de l’Ermitage: This protected lagoon offers ideal conditions for learning, with its calm, shallow waters. The wind is generally stable, perfect for first-time sailors.
  • Plage de Boucan Canot: This beach offers a relatively flat stretch of water when the swell is low, ideal for beginners. An anti-shark net provides additional safety.
  • Étang-Salé les Bains: This beach offers gentle conditions and constant wind, ideal for beginners. The supervised bathing area means you can practice in complete safety.
  • Saint-Pierre (anse des Cascades): This sheltered area offers a safe environment for beginners with its shallow waters and steady wind.
  • Baie de Saint-Paul: In moderate winds, this bay offers stable conditions for beginner wingfoilers, with a magnificent view of the mountains.

    SPOTS FOR EXPERTS

    • Spot de Trois-Bassins: This spot offers more challenging conditions for experienced riders, with stronger waves and winds, particularly during the austral winter.
    • La Saline-les-Bains: Located beyond the lagoon, this spot offers varied and sometimes demanding conditions for experienced wingfoilers, with quality waves.
    • Saint-Leu: Renowned for its world-class waves, this spot is ideal for experts in search of thrills, especially during winter swells.
    • Boucan Canot (offshore): Beyond the protected area, this spot offers interesting technical conditions for experienced riders, with powerful waves.
    • Pointe au Sel: Located on the west side of the island, this spot offers more intense conditions for experts, with hollow waves and steady winds.

    It’s important to note that conditions can vary according to the season and wind direction. Reunion Island benefits from the trade winds, which generally blow from the east, offering stable conditions for wingfoiling. However, it’s crucial to be aware of local conditions and to respect supervised swimming areas, as there is a risk of sharks on some of the island’s beaches.
