Saint Joseph - French Guiana Saint Joseph features powerful right-breaking waves over flat rocks, making it a challenging reef break. Access requires a boat from the port of Kourou to the Salut Islands, with a short paddle from Royal Island to reach the wave. The spot is best surfed at low tide during falling tide conditions. This surf spot is known for its epic waves, but caution is advised due to dangerous entry points and potential rips. The area remains uncrowded throughout the week, providing a serene surfing experience. Wind from the northwest or west and swell from the east or northeast create optimal conditions. However, surfers should be aware of the rocky bottom and strong undertow, making it essential to assess the area before entering the water.
