Kite Season
Picture this: you’re gliding over crystal-clear water, surrounded by white-sand beaches and lush, tropical greenery. Welcome to Seychelles, a kitesurfer’s dream come true! This archipelago of 115 islands, located in the Indian Ocean, is more famous for honeymooners and giant tortoises, but it’s also a prime spot for kitesurfing if you’re looking for a wind-powered adventure in paradise.
The best time to kitesurf in Seychelles is during the trade wind seasons. From May to October, the southeast trade winds blow between 15-25 knots, providing consistent conditions for a great session. The second, lighter trade wind season runs from November to March, but beware—this time of year can be a little calmer and occasionally interrupted by rain (though it’s still warm enough). It’s usually a balmy 27°C year-round.
Famous for its iconic granite boulders and clear waters, Anse Source d’Argent (La Digue) isn’t just Instagram-worthy—it’s also a great spot for kitesurfing. The flat, shallow water makes it perfect for beginners, though you might find yourself stopping for selfies with the backdrop.
For those looking for a bit more action, Anse Intendance (Mahé) offers stronger winds and some decent waves. The backdrop of dense tropical jungle is something straight out of a movie, and it’ll have you feeling like an island explorer in no time.
So, if you’re ready to trade crowded beaches for secluded paradise and swap wetsuits for board shorts, Seychelles is waiting! Just don’t blame me if you never want to leave.
