About Anse Soleil

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

The spot faces W (264°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (84°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 16). 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 Anse Royale, 5.8 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.

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).

Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,380–US$2,700 each

about US$1,380–US$2,700 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, taxi, stay, food, board and wetsuit.
