Petit sancho
Edit SpotAbout
a funny non dangerous tailor made for beginners and intermediate surfers
Atmosphere:
a wild and isolated spot on the mauritian south coast.the trip is itself beautiful.locals from villages nearby are friendly : greet them , they expect it!!
Additional Info:
a winter spot .wait for swells from anticyclones.works also in summer after cyclones.a fun spot with 4 lines up.easily crowded for lack of space.the best wave is a point break : the swell rushes past the coral island , curves inside and pushes the surfer down a left wave.funny!! Beware the boulder protruding at 50 m specially at low tide.
