Surf St Francois Harbour

St Francois Harbour - Guadeloupe St Francois Harbour features a right-breaking reef wave over flat rocks and sand, ideal for beginners. The wave is fun yet powerless, best surfed at high tide due to shallow conditions. It accommodates all tides, with optimal swell from the south and southeast, and wind from the north and northeast. Located on the southern shore, this spot attracts a mix of surfers, particularly on weekends and school holidays, leading to a crowded lineup. While the wave can be inconsistent, it offers a blend of beach and reef breaks for variety. Beginners should aim for off-peak times to enjoy a more relaxed session. Be cautious of urchins and pollution in the water, and remember to respect fellow surfers by taking turns in the lineup. Access is easy, just head to the harbour and look for the surfers riding the sloppy waves.
