surfing in Reunion Island
  This tropical island provides mainly reef breaks with worldwide famous breaks like St Leu. But even beginners can find spots on the rare beach breaks. Water temperatures are 24 to 30. The East coast has heavy rainfall. There's no lagoon. It's a rocky coastline. The West coast is completely different with lower rainfall. This coast has the best spots. You'll find reef spots here because of the lagoon.
November to April: Summer (hot and humid). It's the typhoon season.
May to October: Winter (cool and dry). It's the best time for surf.

Sept 2006:
Since some month a lot of shark attack happend on reunion island. In August there was a fatal shark and some others impressive ones, so be carrefull guys!
