Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Espace Marin

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. We don't know which way the shore faces here, so we can't warn of offshore wind: kite and windsurf aren't scored.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it. 1 sailing school or club and 3 boat hire places within 10 km. For sailing at expert level the best months are usually June, July, August and September, with about 6 good days in 7; in February, March and November, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Grand Baie.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,340–US$2,660 each

about US$1,340–US$2,660 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.

Our estimate from typical public prices, not a quote: check the real prices before you book (where they come from). Prices are about, in US Dollar (USD): our pound figures at the European Central Bank's rate of 2 November 2026.
