Baie de Galion surf guide

Baie de Galion is a surf spot located on the beautiful eastern coast of Martinique. It's a popular place for both surfers and kitesurfers, thanks to its stunning scenery and consistent conditions. The area around the Fort Dauphin end attracts a lot of wind enthusiasts, but surfers find it a bit more challenging due to the waves and conditions present here. The beach has a mix of sand and some submerged shipwrecks, so it's always good to be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

The surf at Baie de Galion works best with east swell direction and can handle swell sizes starting from 1 ft (0.3 m). You can catch waves breaking over the sand, with both left and right waves available. For the best conditions, aim for low to mid to high tides, as this spot can offer decent rides across various tide heights. If you're a beginner, this is a good place to practice, especially when the wind is coming from the northwest. However, be aware that due to the cross-shore winds, the surf might not always break perfectly.

Besides surfing, this spot can get busy with kitesurfers due to the wind conditions. If you’re looking to develop your skills, it’s a good idea to check out the flow of beginners around you, as they can help you gauge the spot's vibes. Just remember to be mindful of others in the water, especially with some wrecks scattered about. Enjoy your time at Baie de Galion!
