Overview
Macondé is a short, hollow left that reels over live coral on Mauritius's south coast. It's a consistent reef break that holds plenty of size. Be aware that the south coast feels a lot sharkier than elsewhere on the island.
When It Works
The wave draws swell from southwest through southeast, with south the best direction. It is usable from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft, breaking reliably whenever a swell is running.
Wind and Tide
Macondé needs some north or east in the wind, so look for a north offshore breeze. It works on mid to high tide, with a rising tide the better call.
Local Tips
This is an intermediate-level wave. Expect a moderately busy lineup when it's on.
Access
Reaching the peak takes a ten-minute paddle. There is free roadside parking nearby.
