Madagascar has earned a stellar reputation as a kitesurfing destination. The Red Island boasts multiple world-class spots scattered across its coastline.
In northern Madagascar, Diego-Suarez offers two spectacular sites renowned among kitesurfers.
- Babaomby, Emerald Sea Lagoon, situated on the Indian Ocean, this spot is celebrated for its lagoon stretching over 12 km, known as the Emerald Sea—regarded as one of the world's most beautiful. Consistent strong winds blow from April through mid-November. It's an essential destination for those seeking tranquility, offering a welcoming and paradisiacal atmosphere centered around kitesurfing. For more experienced riders, superb offshore waves and strapless freestyle opportunities await. The Babaomby Island Lodge, kite, wingfoil & windsurf stands as Madagascar's sole school offering jet ski safety support for all lodge residents, with personalized coaching available.
- Sakalava Bay, spanning 2.2 km and protected by a coral reef barrier, reveals shallow waters at low tide across much of the bay—making it an ideal, secure learning ground for beginners. Yet experienced riders will find easy access to challenging reef waves. The warm, turquoise waters create a magnificent, unspoiled setting. With steady winds from April to November and stronger conditions June through October, the spot is virtually year-round accessible.
To the east, a promising new spot has emerged on the idyllic island of Sainte Marie. A stunning lagoon welcomes both beginners and seasoned riders, with the ideal season running April through September.
In the southwest, Anakao presents three conveniently positioned sites:
- The Lagoon: turquoise waters, perfect for beginners or freestyle enthusiasts
- Flamebowls: ideal for wave riders
- Jelly Babies: a sharp, challenging wave spot for advanced practitioners
Other equally impressive locations dot southern Madagascar along the route between Tuléar and Fort Dauphin—such as Lavanono, a world-renowned wave haven. Each spot carries its own character and suits all levels of ability. Whether traveling with family or friends, additional activities ensure enjoyment for everyone. You'll discover striking landscapes, turquoise waters, white sand, and pleasantly warm temperatures at every destination. Leave your 4/3mm wetsuit at home!
