Le Morne Rights is a popular surf spot located on the north side of Passe de la Prairie, known for its consistent waves and scenic views. The spot is best for expert surfers looking for a challenge. Le Morne Rights can handle swell sizes around 3ft (0.9 meters) and works well when the swell comes from the south-west or south-east. When conditions are right, surfers can enjoy long rides, though it’s important to check the tides and wind.
This spot is known for its right-hand reef break, which can produce hollow waves. The optimal wind direction is northeast, and the best times to hit the waves are during mid to high tides. Make sure to watch out for strong outgoing currents on the drop, as they can be pretty intense, making it crucial to stay aware when paddling out.
Across the channel lies Manawa Left, which is another consistent break, but getting there requires a boat. If you’re looking to mix it up, it might be worth the trip when the conditions line up. Just remember, Le Morne Rights is mainly for those with experience, so be prepared for a workout out there.
