Anse à la Bouelle
Edit SpotAbout
It's a classic and very regularly breaking spot. Ask locals to know the way to go out of the water, rocks and urchins aren't your friends...
Atmosphere:
When it works, this spot will attract a lot of good surfers, locals or not. be prepared for a cool but competitive line-up on the left peak.
Additional Info:
two waves : a fast and hollow left, with a juicy take-off, and a long and mellower right, nice for longboards, even though it is sometimes big.
When'you're on the car-park, you'll perhaps see a right peak on your left about 300 metres away. Its name is "waimea". If it works, it's always bigger than it looks, hollow, powerfull and very dangerous. If you want to try, let me just tell you that there, the depth is measured in inches!!!
