Blanchisseuse is a sandy beach located on the northern coast, known for its decent surf spots. You’ll find some rocks on the eastern side, while the best waves usually break at the western end. It’s a place where the waves can really pack a punch, so be prepared for some strong rips that require a good amount of strength and endurance to handle. The surf works best with a north swell, and the waves can be pretty clean, especially in the winter months. It starts breaking from around 0.5m up to 2m.
The beach offers both left and right-breaking waves, making it suitable for intermediate surfers looking for a fun session. With an ideal swell direction coming from the north, it can also handle sizes from 2ft (0.6m). The preferred wind direction is from the south, which helps keep the waves clean. You can hit the surf at any tide—low, mid, or high—so you have some flexibility depending on your day. Just remember that you might face some rips, so be careful and know your limits.
Being located near the Surf Side Country Inn, it's a spot where you can take breaks and enjoy the surrounding environment. With a consistency rating of about 5 out of 10, it doesn’t always guarantee perfect waves, but it’s worth checking out when the conditions align. Just go with an intermediate skill level in mind, and you should have a good time.
