Anse-Bertrand

Anse-Bertrand is a sheltered bay located on the northwest coast of Guadeloupe, characterized by a crescent sandy beach backed by residential development and agricultural land. The spot features a shallow lagoon system with turquoise water indicating sandy/shallow bottom conditions. The bay opens northwest toward deeper water, with the coastline oriented roughly 300°. This is a protected, sheltered location rather than an exposed break. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds (approximately 30°) providing side-shore conditions along the main beach. The shallow lagoon limits wave development but offers safe, predictable conditions suitable for beginners and learners. Low wind reliability (37.9%) and small average wave height (0.94m) indicate this is best for flat-water progression rather than wave riding. Kiters should be aware of the shallow bay bottom, residential proximity, and potential reef hazards. Peak season aligns with trade wind patterns. This spot suits progression riders seeking protected, shallow-water training conditions rather than advanced wave or freestyle riding.
