La Digue is a well-known surf spot that can provide some fun sessions for those who know what they're doing. Located in a picturesque setting, it attracts surfers looking for both challenges and enjoyable rides. The spot is suitable for intermediate surfers and can offer a decent experience when the conditions align right.

This place mainly breaks left and works best with swells coming from the South and SouthWest. You can expect good waves when the swell size hits around 3ft (1 meter). When the conditions are just right, three sections of La Digue can link up into a long left ride. The mid-section provides a fast wall, while the inside offers a tricky barrel that can be fun to navigate. To make the most of your surfing here, keep an eye on the wind; eastern winds are preferable, and tides can work well at low, mid, or high levels.

La Digue breaks over live coral, so it’s essential to know the take-off spots and have some experience with reef breaks. If you’re up for it, jumping off the jetty wall at St. Gilles can make for an interesting entry. Just remember that this spot is mainly designed for intermediate surfers, so make sure you’re up to the challenge before diving in.
