Surf Anse à la barque

Anse à la barque - Guadeloupe Anse à la barque features a right-point break over a reef with sharp rocks and sand. The waves are of ordinary power, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced surfers. The spot works best at mid and high tide, with optimal swell coming from the southeast and east. This surf location is easily accessible via the Pierre & Vacances hotel, although it requires a long paddle along the cliff. An alternative access point exists across the bay, but it is less straightforward to locate. The atmosphere is vibrant, attracting a mix of locals, tourists, and surf schools. While weekdays tend to be less crowded, weekends can see a significant influx of surfers. Caution is advised due to potential rips, undertow, and rocky areas.
