Manawa or Jaws is the wave past the main pass looking south, facing the center and hotel. It can hold pretty big, and is a rolling foam ball with the odd faster section, ideal for aspiring kiters and windsurfers. Beware when the swell is large, the current in the pass is in the same direction as the wind (out to sea), and can instantly kill the wind when you hit it. Start from the beach at Le Morne. 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: Mediumwave, Bigwave. Features: Rooms, School, Shop, Repair, Rental, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Expert.
