La Perle Surf Guide

La Perle in Guadeloupe - Grande Terre is a sheltered sandbar break that has inconsistent surf. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Works best in offshore winds from the southeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the northwest. Waves at the sandbar break both left and right. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Overcrowding can even make surfing hazardous.
