Surf Petit Havre

Petit Havre - Grande-Terre, Caribbean Petit Havre features left-breaking reef waves over a rocky bottom, offering fun conditions for surfers. This spot is sheltered from the wind, making it reliable even with onshore breezes. It works at all tides, with a rising tide being optimal for access. The crowd is generally light during the week and weekends. Located on the south coast, Petit Havre is easily accessible from Pointe-à-Pitre, requiring a short walk or paddle-out to reach the line-up. The atmosphere is typically relaxed, although sunset sessions can attract more surfers, leading to occasional localism. Caution is advised due to sharp rocks and the presence of urchins, making reef booties a wise choice. For beginners, nearby Anse Vinaigri offers a safer alternative. Overall, Petit Havre is a solid choice for surfers seeking a less competitive environment with decent wave conditions.
