Character
01Le Helleux · Gros Sable is defined by open tropical peaks with reef-defined sections over sand with reef and rock margins. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02E–NE swell, sw–w offshore or light trade wind and mid tide · rising form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.5–2.0 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to reef and rock margins, rip currents, trade-wind chop. Local signs and advice always take priority.
