Surf Break: Anse des Cayes

Anse des Cayes on the North Coast is a fairly exposed reef break that has reasonably consistent surf. Winter and spring are the optimum times of year to visit. The best wind direction is from the south southwest. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the best swell direction is from the north northeast. Right and better left hand reef breaks.. Rarely crowded here. Beware of rocks, coral etc.

Secret spot? We can hide it!
