About Anse Sevére

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces NW (305°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (125°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 9). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is La Passe, 0.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 9 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

about US$1,450–US$2,810 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food, board and wetsuit.
