Sunday, June 15
1. Northern Coast (Grand Baie, Pereybere)
Expect strong southeast winds averaging 20–30 km/h, increasing inland. The weather here remains mostly dry with temperatures around 25–26 °C. Ocean breezes help moderate the heat. The sea just inside the reef remains relatively calm (~0.5 m swell), but beyond—with the open ocean facing—waves reach 2 m, stirred by consistent wind. This coastal stretch offers slightly calmer conditions compared to the east or south.
2. North-West Coast (Mont Choisy, Trou aux Biches)
Similar conditions prevail: brisk winds at 20–30 km/h, comfortable 25–26 °C, and a calm lagoon (~0.5 m). The weather encourages beach walks and light water activities.
3. Port Louis & Surroundings
Gusty southeast winds, 20–30 km/h in general, up to 70 km/h near plateau elevations. Daytime highs near 27 °C offer warmth tempered by breeze. The weather forecast suggests a dry day in the capital with no significant rain. Sea conditions just offshore exhibit moderate swells (~1–2 m).
4. West Coast (Flic en Flac, Tamarin)
This side of the island is better sheltered. Winds drop to around 15–20 km/h, and weather remains fine with daytime highs of 26–27 °C. Lagoon waters stay calm (~0.5 m swell), ideal for snorkeling and paddleboarding.
5. South-West Coast (Le Morne)
Mountains funneling the southeast wind drive speeds up to 70 km/h in highlands. Coastal breezes are around 30–40 km/h. Inland, intermittent gusts may reach 85–90 km/h. The weather here is dramatic: warm 25–26 °C temperatures, but expect strong winds. Waves outside the reef reach 2–3 m, ideal for advanced surfing and kiteboarding.
6. South Coast (Bel Ombre)
Clouds hover over the plateau between 7–8 AM, causing light drizzle. The weather transitions to partly cloudy midday with 24–25 °C highs. Strong winds (40–50 km/h) create choppy seas and 2–3 m swells—unsafe for swimming.
7. South Coast (Blue Bay, Mahebourg)
Cloudy skies early, with breaks by late morning. Rain is possible between 6–9 AM. Winds range 35–40 km/h, occasionally reaching 50 km/h. Sea conditions are rough (~3 m), with warm marine temperatures at 25.8 °C .
8. East Coast (Belle Mare, Trou d’Eau Douce)
The east coast bears the brunt of incoming southeast trade winds, with sustained speeds of 40–60 km/h and gusts up to 70 km/h. Swells hit 3 m beyond the reef, making the lagoons rough and risky for swimmers. Temperatures hold steady near 25 °C. The weather indicates no safe conditions for bathing today.
Sunrise & Sunset: 06:42 AM • 17:37 PM
Tides (Graveyards/Port Louis):
- High tides: 2:21 AM / 3:23 PM (~0.66 m / 0.58 m)

Monday, June 16
The weather pattern softens only slightly. Southeast winds persist at 20–40 km/h, gusting inland, with temperatures staying warm (24–26 °C). Expect a mix of clouds and sunshine; isolated showers remain possible in elevated inland areas. Conditions trending calmer along the west and north shores, but coasts on the exposed east and south remain breezy and active.
1. Northern Coast
Winds ease to around 20–35 km/h. Weather stays mostly dry with highs of 25–26 °C. Seas within reef remain mild at ~0.5 m.
2. North-West Coast
Likewise, wind speeds remain moderate. The weather stays favorable for beachgoers and swimmers in calm lagoon conditions.
3. Port Louis & Surroundings
Placated winds (20–35 km/h) still buffet the capital. Expect mixed skies with temperatures around 26–27 °C. Light afternoon showers may occur inland, modest rain is possible.
4. West Coast
Weather continues to brighten up. Moderate southwest wind ensures pleasant evenings below 30 km/h. Lagoon remains calm for water sports.
5. South-West Coast (Le Morne)
Plateau gusts may still reach 60–80 km/h, driving strong coastal breezes (30–50 km/h). Waves hover between 2–3 m outside reefs—suitable for experienced surfers.
6. South & Blue Bay
Variable skies, occasional rain showers expected due to leftover moisture. Temperatures hover near 24–25 °C. Sea activity is significant (2–3 m swells) and recreational activities are unsafe.
7. East Coast
Winds remain strong (40–60 km/h), though slightly calmer. Swells fall marginally to 2.5–3 m. The weather remains too rough for swimming and exposed water sports.
Sunrise & Sunset: 06:43 AM • 17:37 PM

This weekend’s weather in Mauritius brings a compelling mix of winds, waves, and regional contrasts.

Monday offers slightly calmer passage inland and along the west coast, but high swells and breezy seaside conditions persist.
If your plans include water sports or mountain hikes, monitor local forecasts and marine advisories. For safer beach days, stick to northern and western zones, and schedule island tours away from exposed waters. As always, refer to the Mauritius Meteorological Services for real-time bulletins and weather safety notices. Enjoy the ocean’s power—and stay weather-wise!
