Chameau is the wave that dreams (good and bad ones) are made of. This is the ultimate in wave riding for windsurfers and kiters, and should be approached with great care. The wave is hollow and really shallow, and the amount of masts and egos that have been broken there cannot be told. The outer reef wave is far out and you should be a good swimmer if you venture out this far. Shallow reef, don't get thrown onto it. Remember that there are several passes with strong currents, making these areas also very popular for sharks, so do not wallow around too much in the deeper waters or channels. Very shallow reef, don't get onto it. Launch from Le Morne beach. Mainly Southeasterly, quite constant winds May through August, after and before that you have 50/50 chance of getting it on. Usual wind is SE trade wind and because of mountains acceleration is a daily occurrence. Ideal directions are 90 to 180 degrees. Warm water/weather all year round. Surf all year. Tropical temperatures, although a bit of neoprene is recommended for the winter months. Water: Shallow, Mediumwave. Features: Rooms, School, Shop, Repair, Rental, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Expert.
