La Caffrine is a surf spot located behind the St-Leu reef. It’s known to cater to beginners, offering a safe place to learn with waves that break over a deep coral slab. The area has a relaxed vibe, making it a suitable choice for those just getting into surfing or looking for some chill sessions.

The optimal swell direction here is from the SouthWest, which is ideal for catching waves. You can also expect some decent action with swells coming in from the SouthEast and SouthWest. La Caffrine works well with swell sizes from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and breaks over live coral. The waves here are mainly reef-type and break to the right, making it pretty straightforward for those starting out. For the best experience, aim to surf when the wind is coming from the East, and you can hit the water whether it’s low, mid, or high tide.

This spot is perfect for beginners who want to get their feet wet without too much hassle. Just remember, the coral slab beneath can be quite sharp, so it's wise to pay attention to where you're surfing. Overall, La Caffrine offers a solid environment for new surfers to practice and enjoy the ocean.
