La Grotte surf guide

La Grotte is tucked between Cape Blanc and Cape Bizerte. It's known for several left-hand reef options that work best when the conditions are right. This spot tends to favor clean waves, which makes it a popular choice for surfers looking to ride some decent swells.

The optimal swell direction at La Grotte is from the Northwest, but it can also handle swells coming from the West and Northeast. When it comes to size, the spot works well with swells around 2 ft (0.6 m) but can handle a bit more depending on the conditions. The waves break over boulders, creating fun left-handers that are perfect for intermediate surfers. If you’re planning your session, the best wind direction is coming from the South and it works well at all tide heights: low, mid, and high.

While La Grotte can get crowded at times, it's worth checking out for its consistent waves. Just keep in mind the swell size and wind conditions before heading out, so you can make the most of your time on the water.
