Description

La Tortue - La Tortue Island La Tortue features a right-breaking reef wave over a boulder bottom, characterized by hollow and fast conditions. Access requires a good walk of 15-30 minutes, with public access available. The spot is best approached by boat due to strong currents, and it works well with swells from the North and Northwest, particularly when winds come from the South, Southeast, or East. This isolated surf spot is not the most consistent but can deliver quality waves when conditions align. The surrounding lagoon attracts wind and kite surfers, adding to the area's charm. However, surfers should be cautious of rips, undertows, and urchins, making it less suitable for beginners. Weekdays see minimal crowds, while weekends attract a few surfers. For those seeking adventure, La Tortue offers a unique experience, but preparation and awareness of the local conditions are essential for a safe surf session.
