Windsurfing Holidays Madagascar

North Madagascar is a unique and untouched paradise for windsurfing and wing foiling. Warm, crystal-clear waters, unspoiled landscapes, and rich culture; it checks all the boxes for those looking for stunning, uncrowded, wind-rich conditions. The island’s vast coastline, exposed to consistent trade winds and swells, is home to countless unexplored surf and wind spots, making it a hidden gem for watersports lovers.

The best spot for a windsurfing holiday to Madagascar is Babaomby Beach on the Emerald Sea, located in the northeastern corner of Madagascar. This is a windsurfer's haven. During the peak season (July-October), winds average 30-35 knots, providing perfect conditions for high jumps, wave riding, and freestyle tricks. The Emerald Sea lagoon, with its diverse wind, wave, and flatwater setups, offers a unique playground for all skill levels and disciplines, from wave sailing to freeriding.

Toreky Island: A favourite for jumps with reliable waves and flatwater run-ups. Ideal for wing foiling and windsurfing.
Suarez Island: Known for its pristine white sand beaches and challenging reef waves. It’s also a hotspot for humpback whale sightings during their migration season.
La Piscine: Boasts the clearest, flattest water in the area, perfect for freestyle and beginners.
The Pass: Offers a chance to switch to port tack for windsurfers craving variety.
Paradise: A tranquil lagoon with mesmerizing turquoise waters and a vibrant local scene.

The wind Stats here ranks among the top 10 windiest locations on the "Windguru" app, with 98% of days exceeding 20 knots. The water temperatures is consistently warm at 26-28°C, suitable for swimsuits or shorty wetsuits. The landscape combines dunes, mangroves, reefs, and sandy islets, offering endless exploration opportunities.

Madagascar's combination of world-class windsurf conditions, rich biodiversity, and breathtaking landscapes create a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It can work for all type of holidays. Perfect for a solo adventure due to the warm, friendly nature of the location. For families, it can make for an epic adventure, especially when combining the beach with some of the many amazing inland adventures. And of couples, it can be an incredible place to share.

The best of North Madagascar

In our experience, this tour is the best way to get the most out of a Northern Madagascar trip, considering the sometimes 'tricky' logistics of navigating this rugged and wild island. The tour combines some of the best Kitesurf, Wingfoil and Windsurfing spots in the North West, with incredible wildlife and landscapes of the interior, finishing with a luxury island stay surrounded by nature.
