Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wave is Anse Bonneville?

Anse Bonneville is a reef break in Tartane, Martinique, with peaks that run both left and right.

What swell works best at Anse Bonneville?

Anse Bonneville 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 1.2m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.8 to 2.2m. 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 Anse Bonneville?

A W wind is dead offshore at Anse Bonneville, and anything from the WSW round to the WNW 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 Anse Bonneville?

Anse Bonneville 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 Anse Bonneville?

The most reliable run of swell at Anse Bonneville comes Nov to Mar. There's a second window in Sep to Oct too. Martinique's most popular. Multiple peaks, contest venue.

How cold is the water at Anse Bonneville?

The water at Anse Bonneville 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 Anse Bonneville 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. Martinique's most popular. Multiple peaks, contest venue.
