About This Spot
This Guadeloupe bay spot features a reef-protected basin with shallow water characteristics and rocky bottom formations visible in satellite imagery. The northeast-facing coastline creates a naturally sheltered environment bordered by vegetated land. The spot functions as a protected bay break with reef influence, requiring advanced technical skills to navigate shallow areas and rocky obstacles. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°) providing side-shore conditions. The extremely low wind reliability (0.9%) and modest average swell (1.01m) mean sessions are infrequent and require specific seasonal weather patterns. Water temperature averaging 26.9°C is consistent with tropical Caribbean conditions. This spot suits experienced kiters comfortable reading complex bottom topography and managing light wind conditions. The reef and shallow water demand precise board handling and awareness of edge hazards. Local knowledge of tide and seasonal wind patterns is essential before attempting this location.
