One Eye

Le Morne, Mauritius

🪸Sharp reef⚠️Shallow🌀Strong rips

One Eye is Mauritius' most famous wave—a world-class left reef break at Le Morne that has become equally renowned for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The wave breaks over shallow coral, producing powerful, hollow barrels when SW groundswells arrive during the May-September season. SE trade winds blow offshore, creating perfect conditions for wave-riding sports. The lineup can be crowded with kites and sails, requiring awareness from surfers. Mauritius' showcase wave.
