About

The best surf spot on the south coast on the Grande-Terre. It is protected from the wind, which make the spot work even if the wind is on-shore. It a less competitive line-up than in Le Moule area, even if good surfers can be present. The most of time there is a cool atmosphere.

Atmosphere:
There is generally a good atmosphere during the day. However, the sunset sessions can be crowed and localism sometimes becomes the rules, to surf the best peak.

Additional Info:
Let the old woman in the van keep your keys (Buy her a soda at the end of your session). To join the line-up, you can chose a 5 minutes paddling-out from the beach, or a little walk through the forest on the left of the beach (at high tide only, because you will have to dive). Petit-Havre is only a LEFT wave.
