Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wave is Anse Couleuvre?

What swell works best at Anse Couleuvre?

It starts working at around 1.2m and handles up to about 3m, with the sweet spot around 2 to 2.6m. 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.

How cold is the water at Anse Couleuvre?
