Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wave is Damencourt?

Damencourt is a reef break in Le Moule, Guadeloupe, with peaks that run both left and right.

What swell works best at Damencourt?

Damencourt picks up swell from the NNE round to the E, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the NE. It starts working at around 0.8m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.6 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

What wind is offshore at Damencourt?

A S wind is dead offshore at Damencourt, and anything from the SSE round to the SSW keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

What tide is best at Damencourt?

Damencourt is at its best around mid tide, roughly 0.6m to 1.5m on the local chart.

When is the best time of year to surf Damencourt?

The most reliable run of swell at Damencourt comes Nov to Mar. There's a second window in Sep to Oct too. Most popular in Guadeloupe due to consistent swells.

How cold is the water at Damencourt?

The water at Damencourt averages around 27°C, so boardshorts or a rashguard will do. It shifts a few degrees through the year, so check the season before you pack.

Is Damencourt good for beginners?

It's more of an intermediate wave, rated 5/10 for difficulty, so newer surfers are best off sticking to the smaller days. Expect a moderate crowd (6/10) when it's on. Most popular in Guadeloupe due to consistent swells.
