About this spot
One Eye is the reef break off the tip of the Le Morne peninsula, named after the eye-shaped wave and the hole in one face of Le Morne Brabant. It is launched from La Pointe, a small strip of sand to the left of the big channel, where a strong and constant side-shore south-east trade blows.
Local guides describe a mix of flat water near La Pointe and the reef waves out at One Eye, and are explicit that One Eye itself is for very experienced kiters: the wave breaks over shallow coral, and the current in the channel can pull riders out. ION CLUB runs a centre at La Pointe with a boat safety service.
If you are not a confident reef rider, use the Kite Lagoon instead and treat One Eye as a spot to watch.

Access & parking
Launch from La Pointe at the tip of the Le Morne peninsula; ION CLUB's La Pointe centre offers boat safety.

Amenities
- ION CLUB La Pointe: lessons, rental and a boat safety service.
Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from the schools' own pages (ION CLUB Le Morne, Mauritius Surf Holidays) and independent spot guides (KiteInsider, sejour-maurice). Exact launch pins, public beach-access paths (much of the coast is lined with hotels and villas), any hotel or yacht-club launch restrictions, reef-pass currents, rescue-boat cover and lagoon depth at each tide all still need confirming on site — coordinates are approximate, not verified launch points.
Local hazards
- The wave breaks over shallow, sharp coral — a fall on the inside can mean reef cuts.
- Strong current in the channel next to the reef — ride with boat support.
- Big, powerful sets in the winter swell season.
- Northerly and westerly winds are offshore — do not ride in them.
