Guadeloupe Surfing
Guadeloupe consists of two island joined by a
bridge and is part of the French West Indies,
Caribbean. The climate is warm and tropical all year
round. The main wind direction is E-NE all the
year. The main surf season is from October to the
end of May. This is the best surf conditions, the
biggest surf, the dry season, and of course
while it may be winter in North America and Europe -
its defiantly not in Guadeloupe! However, You
can surf all the year round with the west island,
Basse Terre still breaking during the cyclone season
with S-SE swells and The east island, Grande Terre,
receiving the more reliable and consistent
Atlantic swells. During the season waves
average of 4 to 6', up to about 10'. There is
over 35 designated surf spots on Guadeloupe meaning
that there is surfing for everyone! Yet - there are
still lots of secret spots ...
Our school is based in main town of
Sainte Anne, where there is two surf break (La digue
and La Caravelle) We also work with the surf
club that has an excellent surf camp about 20 km (12
miles) away at
St.François. You can be based either at Sainte Anne
or at the surf club at St.François. We normally
recommend that if you are a beginner and want a
variety of activities as well as surfing you base
yourself in Sainte Anne. If you want to surf til you
drop then the surf camp in St.François is for
you! We also recommend you spend some of your
weekend at Port Louis, about 20 km from Sainte Anne
- that is another world class break.
