Mourouk (Rodrigues)

Rodrigues · Best time: Jun–Oct · All levels

Anse Mourouk is the main kite spot on Rodrigues: about 1.5 m deep near shore, with deeper water and reef further out. Wind blows at 10 knots or more all year, most dependably from May to October, when the schools and rental stations are open. A forgiving place to learn.
