Overview
Caribbean island bathed by the trade winds, Martinique offers a true variety of sessions between flat lagoons, chop, and some wave areas on the Atlantic coast. The most sought-after season generally runs from December to June, with conditions often well established during the dry season, making it a very popular destination for a winter trip. The spots around Vauclin, Anse Michel, or Trois-Îlets are renowned for learning and progression, thanks to relatively accessible water conditions and warm water year-round. However, some areas require caution due to shallows, shorebreak, or boating traffic depending on the location. Tropical atmosphere, numerous schools, and a strong surf culture: it’s a place that appeals to both beginners and riders looking for more technical or challenging sessions depending on the chosen spot.
