Anse des Lézards surf guide

Anse des Lézards is a small surf spot located on the northeastern side of St. Barths, about 32km (20mi) south of St. Martin. This French island has a unique vibe that stands apart from its neighbor, featuring beautiful scenery and a more upscale atmosphere. The coastline is dotted with coves and bays, giving surfers a variety of waves to choose from, with Anse des Lézards being one of the more accessible options.

The surf at Anse des Lézards is known for its consistent lefts and the occasional right, primarily working on a north to northeast swell. This spot is ideal for beginners, with waves that handle swell sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter). It breaks over an uneven reef, which can provide some fun conditions, especially with the right wind from the southwest. It works well at all tide heights—low, mid, and high—making it a flexible choice for surfers looking to catch some waves.

Thanks to its good exposure to the northeast, Anse des Lézards often sees a lot of swell, which contributes to its overall consistency. If you’re into exploring, you can find some other nearby breaks like the nice peak at Petite Anse or a quick left at the corner of Flammands Beach. Overall, it's a decent spot to check out if you're in the area and want to get on the water.
