Charlot is a surf spot located in front of the new harbor at Grand-Rivière. This place is known for its powerful reef breaks that can deliver challenging waves. It tends to attract seasoned surfers due to the demanding conditions that can be found here. The area picks up more swell than some other spots but also comes with increased wind, making conditions a bit tricky at times.

The surf at Charlot is most favorable with a north or northeast swell direction, handling swell sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter). Surfers can find left and right waves breaking over an uneven reef, so be prepared for some variability. The best time to hit the water is during low to mid or high tide. Just a heads up, this spot is really suited for expert surfers, particularly because of the long paddles required to overcome the sweep and reach the good waves.

Keep in mind that wind conditions play a significant role here, with south winds being preferable. If you’re aiming for some decent waves at Charlot, paying attention to these factors will be key to having a good surf session.
