Moya 2 is a surf spot on the Indian Ocean side of Mayotte, known for being part of the island’s reef and lagoon break setup. It tends to work best when there’s enough swell running into the outer reef, and conditions can change quickly depending on wind and tide. Compared with some of the more exposed spots, it can offer fairly clean waves when the swell direction and offshore winds line up.

What to expect

Type of wave: Reef break
Wave quality: Can be fun and clean, but conditions are highly tide- and swell-dependent
Skill level: Best suited to intermediate to advanced surfers, especially because of the reef and changing conditions
Hazards: Sharp reef, shallow sections, and strong currents may be present

Best conditions

Swell: Usually needs a decent groundswell to show shape
Wind: Offshore or light wind is ideal
Tide: Often works best at a specific tide window, so local knowledge helps a lot

Overall vibe

Moya 2 is more of a local reef setup than a beginner-friendly beach break. It can produce quality waves, but it’s a spot where timing matters and where you’ll want to be comfortable surfing over reef.
