Plage de l’Anse Trabaud
France · Martinique
The beach of Anse Trabaud, located on the south-atlantic coast of Sainte-Anne in Martinique, stretches for nearly 2 km of fine sand between Pointe de l’Enfer and Pointe Baham. Surrounded by majestic cliffs, it offers a wild and secluded setting, accessible by a rocky path with a small toll. It is a popular spot for kitesurfers due to its consistent wind and atmosphere away from the crowds.
This almost private paradise rewards the effort of access with intimate sessions in nature. Locals and experienced riders come here to tame the waves and enjoy the fierce Atlantic. The place combines adventure and discovery, with a vast beach ideal for takeoff.
Less frequented due to its difficult access, Anse Trabaud guarantees solitude even in high season. The spectacular landscapes, between crystal-clear sea and cliffs, make it a unique place for an authentic kitesurfing experience.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot is oriented facing the southern Atlantic, with a side-on to side-off wind predominantly from northeast to east, particularly strong in the morning. The navigation area extends over 2 km of beach, but stay to the south for more consistent wind and avoid irregularity near the northern edge. The launch is directly from the fine sandy beach, wide and easy for takeoff, even with good swell.
The water is choppy with waves, especially during strong wind periods from December to June, ideal for jumps and wave riding. Be cautious of sporadic shallows and drifting towards the cliffs; navigate offshore for more safety. Tides have little influence on the main area, but check high coefficients that accentuate currents.
Local feature: the spot is sparsely populated due to difficult access, perfect for freestyle or wave sessions without competition. Mornings offer the best conditions with a strong thermal wind, while afternoons can mellow. Prefer the southern part of the beach for optimal launching and better wave shape.
