Les Kaolins surf guide

Les Kaolins is a surf spot located in an area known for its laid-back vibe. It's not the most consistent place, but when the conditions align, it can deliver some solid waves. The spot often attracts a crowd, especially bodyboarders, so be prepared for a mixed lineup. The scenery is nice, but it's really all about the surf here.

The waves at Les Kaolins can be pretty nice, especially for experts. You can find fast right-handers breaking over a shallow reef, which tends to be preferred by surfers. There's also a left off the peak, but it can get a bit tricky and tends to section off, so the rights usually get more love. The spot handles swell sizes from about 1 meter (3 feet) up to larger sizes, with the optimal swell direction coming from the west. The best time to catch a ride here is during mid to high tides with a northeast wind, but do note that the window for good conditions is pretty narrow.

If you're looking for longer rides, check out Le Couregan, another reef nearby that can produce good waves on low tide starting from a large bowl. Just make sure you're confident in your skills, as this spot is really for experts who can manage the drops and the unpredictable boils. Overall, Les Kaolins can be a hit or miss, so keep an eye on the conditions before heading out.
