Plage des Surfeurs is located about 2km (1.2mi) from the center of the fishing port of Tartane. It's known for being a consistent surf spot, though the waves can often be messy. The beach is a flexible bay that caters to surfers of various skill levels, making it a popular choice for both beginners and more experienced surfers looking for fun waves.

The surf at Plage des Surfeurs is best with a north-east swell direction, but it can also work with northern and eastern swells. The waves mostly break over an uneven reef and handle swell sizes starting from a low 2ft (about 0.6m). You’ll find mellow lefts and rights here, with the rights sometimes offering longer rides. This spot is suitable for all levels, including beginners who can benefit from the smaller inside wave, often utilized by surf schools. When you head out to the point, you can catch some sucky, barreling left and right waves, especially when the conditions are right, though it can be a bit tricky.

For the best results, the surf handles well with a south wind and can work during any tide height — low, mid, or high. So whether you’re looking to ride some easier waves or tackle a challenge, Plage des Surfeurs has something to offer. Most of the surfing contests in the area take place right here or at Base-Pointe, adding to its reputation as a go-to surf spot.
