About this spot
La Souris is a well-known left/reef break in the Étang-Salé area — a southwest-exposed reef very dependent on southern swells and the trade wind. Above 2m it becomes fast and technical, with sections that can barrel depending on the bank; a longer period lets the lefts wrap better over the reef.
