Cote Sauvage Surf Guide

Cote Sauvage in Pointe Noire is an exposed beach and reef break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the west southwest. The beach breaks peel to the left and there is also a left hand reef break. It very rarely gets crowded here.
