About Pain de Sucre

The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE blows out to sea. 5 dive centres or shops within 10 km, the nearest 2.0 km away. The sea is about 24°C in August, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in February, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Les Trois Bassins. Within 5 km we also list 10 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 6 dive sites.
