Grand Baie is a surf spot located on the northern coast of Mauritius. It’s known for its beautiful surroundings, making it a popular spot for both surfers and beachgoers. While it's not the most consistent surf location, it offers some unique waves that attract those looking for a challenge.

The surf here is mainly a left breaking reef wave known as "Tagore" by locals. The best conditions usually come with a west swell, but it can also handle swells coming from the north. The spot works well with swells around 3 ft (about 1 meter). For optimal surfing, high tide is preferable, and the southeast wind can help shape the waves just right. Keep in mind that this spot is more suited for expert surfers, given the nature of the reef and the localism that can be present when the waves are good.

It's worth noting that the consistency of the surf at Grand Baie is scored low. While the crowds might be manageable, the locals are quite protective of the waves, which can make the experience a bit intense at times. So if you’re planning to surf here, be aware of the vibe and respect the local crew.
