Anse du Belley

Anse du Belley is a sheltered bay located on the northeast coast of Guadeloupe, characterized by a northeast-facing shoreline with moderate reef and rocky features. The spot consists of a semi-enclosed bay with shallow turquoise waters transitioning to deeper ocean. The protected nature of the bay makes it suitable for beginners, though limited fetch and shallow depths restrict wave development. Average wind conditions are marginal at 8.7 knots with low reliability (16.1%), suggesting this is not a consistent wind spot. Northwest to west winds (315°) provide side-shore conditions parallel to the bay orientation. The spot is best suited for light-wind sessions and progression-level kiters due to manageable conditions and protected waters. Residential areas and boat traffic indicate moderate crowding potential. Best conditions occur during trades with northwest flow; however, the low wind reliability suggests frequent flat spells. Water temperature averaging 27.3°C and small average wave height (1.15m) confirm this as a sheltered learning environment rather than a destination wave spot.
