I was there for a week 10yrs ago and did not see a ripple... I think it's very seasonal. NIce place to holiday though.

Depends what side of island your on as well one eye didn't drop below head high the whole 2 weeks I was there , the last day was huge like triple head high. Super shallow wave bit sectiony and the locals are mongrels but you'd still be spewing sitting in front of it and not having a board with ya

I heard that about the locals at Mauritius as well.
Your also right about Reunion. Too many shark attacks.
Apparently you'll still be ok with a RPELA

The best when local works and the worse when they are surfing. Basically if they are more than three of them forget about surfing, couldn't even reach the peak and got threat with insult and fist not worth fighting. If you have time worth exploring there are other options locals don't bother surfing.
