Baie des Carpes surf guide

Baie des Carpes is a surf spot located across a deep channel. It's known for being less crowded than some other places, making it a decent choice if you're looking for a more relaxed vibe. The setup here favors some punchy peaks, which can be a good time when the swell is right. You'll find it near an exclusive hotel and golf course, so it's in a pretty nice area.

The optimal swell direction for Baie des Carpes is Northwest, with the spot handling swell sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter). You can also catch some waves coming from the Southwest and North. The waves break over uneven reef, offering both left and right options. Wind from the south works best, and the waves can be surfed at low, mid, and high tide. It’s generally suited for intermediate surfers, so if you're still working on your skills, this might be a spot to check out.

When hitting the water, be aware that the spot can get a little tricky due to the uneven reef, and it's good to know your limits out there. The waves can be fast, especially the lefts in front of the hotel, which are known as Gauche de Loic. So, keep an eye out for the conditions and enjoy the surf!
