Surf: Backed by steep mountains this bay has a small village, rivermouth, mangrove swamp and a good left. This impressive setting needs a big NE swell to break clear into the channel for a short critical barrel section, then a wrapping face. The reef is again live coral and thriving with urchins. Directions: A new road winds along the coast connecting La Borgne and Cap Haitien, providing a look out spot. Park at the village, walk along the mangrove and paddle out to the left. Environment: The spot is next to the Baie d’Acul used by Columbus as a shelter during his first voyage. The Santa Maria, Columbus’ flagship, was wiped out on a reef further down the coast. The search for her anchor is an incentive for Haiti’s diving experts.
