About Le Morne
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (9°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (189°). 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 50 m out (1 in 5). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hard and thick, like a slab. The sea is about 24°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 28°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Le Morne, 0.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 2 wind sports spots and 1 dive site.
Water about 26°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$1,430–US$2,800 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food, board and wetsuit.
