Souillac is a surf spot located on the southern coast of Mauritius. It's known for its scenic views and laid-back vibe. The area features a fringing reef, which creates a unique setting for surfers. The spot can be a bit tricky and is best suited for those with some experience.
The right-hand wave at Souillac breaks best on a small swell with optimal swell direction from the south. It handles swell sizes around 2 ft (0.6 m) and works well when there's a north wind. The wave breaks over live coral and is generally recommendable for intermediate surfers. If you manage to catch it during mid to high tide, you might find some decent rides, though don’t expect it to be world-class.
For those looking for more excitement, when the south swells get huge, there's a really intense righthand slab at Gris Gris nearby. It's worth noting that jet skis aren't allowed in Mauritius, or else this spot would be a prime tow experience. Keep this in mind if you're exploring the local surf scene.
