Cotterelle Beach surf guide

Surf: This peaky beachbreak over sand and cobbles is one of the most consistent spots in the Jacmel area, likely to even have a rideable wave (under 5 seconds period) in the November to March NE season (when surfers should head for the north coast). The short lefts and longer rights wedge up on takeoff, peel for a short ride, then meet a shorebreak closeout that can break boards on a bigger day. There are at least three peaks to choose from. Directions: Park in front of the beach, leaving plenty of space for local tap tap buses and other traffic to pass through the narrow coast road. Environment: The narrow coast road is hemmed in by steep hillsides. Catch the morning glass and avoid the afternoon onshores.
