Club Med 1

Club Med 1 is an exposed reef break in Mauritius known for reasonably consistent surf when the right swell and tide conditions arrive. The spot is reef-based (coral/sharp reef) and requires respect: sharp rocks, sea urchins in shallow water, and rips/undertow have all been reported as hazards. The wave outlook centers on southwest swells, with providers describing working swell heights roughly in the 0.9–2.5 m range. Sessions are typically best on high tide, which helps keep enough water over the reef and reduces the chance of getting too close to exposed/shallow sections where urchins are more prevalent. Wind conditions are reported in the context of regional trade winds, with offshore effects improving wave face quality. One provider emphasizes offshore from the northeast, while another points to offshore southeast trade winds helping groom cleaner faces; wind reliability is described as medium and gustiness as moderate. Overall, the lineup is aimed at intermediate surfers. Wave quality is rated average, rides are generally described as short-to-medium length (with one note that normal ride length can be under 50 m), and the break can require bigger winter swell to open up properly. The spot is characterized as remote and not crowded, but that also means you should plan carefully and be prepared for the reef environment.
