About Anse Royale
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (112°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (292°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 26°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March, April, November and December, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Anse Royale, 0.5 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
