Atmosphere:
The best time you want to look for is when a front is coming and it is pulling air out of the south. You want to be there right after the front passes. We do get some hurricane ground swells, occasionally.

Additional Info:
The best surf is usually at the end. Sometimes it gets too blown out and I just go to to the state park at the end of Grand Isle(pier).Its a lot cleaner at the pier. Parking is 2$. About parking on the beach at Fourchon. Make sure the tide cant come up and drag your car out to sea.

Location

Access

First you go like you are going to Grand Isle. Then you take a right at the sportsman paradise cornerstore which is after you go through Leeville. You stay on this road until you go over a bridge then you take a right.This road takes you to the beach.The first break is right thereb(barges). Another break is to the right all the way down the beach(rock jetty).
Take Hwy 308 or 1 south towards Grand Isle[308 is faster has fewer lights and cops]308 ends in Galliano so cross the draw bridge ,go left and stay on 1 until hwy 3090[I believe] or look for "Port of Fourchon" sign.Turn right and follow the road to the beach..hopefully the bridge is still up.You may need a 4X4 to get down to the jetties at Bayou LaFouche.Best break is about 50-100 yds east of the 3 sets of jetties. If it's really big,waves will break inside the channel along the jetties.Don't park too close to the water as a rising tide may claim your vehicle.
