Anse Salabouelle, also known as a la Bouelle, is a popular surf spot located on the east coast. This stretch of reef offers a mix of waves and is known for its snappy, hollow lefts and more mellow rolling rights. It’s a spot that works best with a NorthEast swell direction, but will also pick up waves from the North and SouthEast. If you're considering a session here, it’s good to know that it can pull a crowd, especially when the conditions are prime.

The waves at Anse Salabouelle can handle swell sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter), which can make for some exciting rides. The lefts tend to be more hollow and quick, while the rights are well-shaped and roll nicely for those looking for a less intense experience. This spot generally works well with SouthWest winds and can be surfed at low, mid, or high tide, making it fairly versatile. It’s best suited for intermediate surfers due to the rocky reef and occasional challenging take-off zones.

When you’re in the water, expect some vibe as it attracts a decent number of locals and visitors alike. It’s essential to watch how the locals navigate the rocky areas, especially since there are urchins around, which can make entering and exiting tricky if you’re not familiar with the spot. If you can time your sessions with the right conditions, you'll find plenty of waves to keep you entertained.
