Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
North Grande-Terre beach with regular, fairly powerful and technical waves, often best in winter, around spots like La Chapelle and Le Plombier.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Anse-Bertrand is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Anse-Bertrand comes broadly from North-East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Anse-Bertrand, you can also check conditions at Le Souffleur, Port-Louis School, Le Moule. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
