Surf: The island of La Tortue hosts a great spot where the trades blow offshore, shaping nice right walls which speed up as the wave peels over the reef. There will be lefts breaking directly in towards the rights on the windward side of the southern tip. Unfortunately it doesn’t break that often and the paddle from the western tip of Grand Cul-de-Sac bay is gruelling against the prevailing strong currents. Find a boat! The backing lagoon is a wind and kite spot. Environment: Urchins, rips and isolation are part of the reason this is for confident surfers only.
