Port Launay is a protected bay with consistent thermals, making it a go-to for beginner-intermediate sessions in the Seychelles. Light chop and predictable afternoon wind build create repeatable conditions ideal for skill development. Beach launch makes entry and exit straightforward, and the enclosed setting keeps you in an manageable environment. Thermal winds typically peak mid-afternoon, so timing sessions around this window maximises opportunity. This spot rewards consistency and patience rather than seeking big wind days.
