Surf La Perle

La Perle - Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe La Perle features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom. This spot is known for its hollow, fast, and powerful waves, particularly during cyclone periods. It is located approximately 1 km offshore from the Pearl beach in the northern western region of Basse-Terre, with instant access available in under 5 minutes. The wave works best with swells from the North, NorthWest, and West, and is optimal with winds from the SouthEast, East, and NorthEast. While it attracts few surfers during the week, weekends can get crowded. Localism is a noted concern, so respect for the local surf community is essential. Access is public, and while a boat can be used, a four-wheel drive is not necessary.
