Pointe Indienne surf guide

Pointe Indienne is a surf spot that can be a bit tricky to navigate. It's located near Plage de la Pointe Indienne, and getting there might take some effort. The line-up is quite exposed to onshore winds, which can affect the conditions you might find out there. If you're looking for something more consistent, you might want to explore the area to the north towards the Kouilou rivermouth, where there are rumors of some better lefts on the way to Gabon.

The waves at Pointe Indienne break to the left over sand, with the best swells coming from the SouthWest. It can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), but heavier swells can lose their energy due to shallow sandbanks that don’t allow the waves to wrap in properly. Whether you’re hitting it at low, mid, or high tide, the spot generally suits beginners, offering a fun way to improve your skills.

For the best experience, look for a north-east wind, which can help clean up the surf a bit. Just keep in mind that conditions may vary, and it's good to stay flexible with your surfing plans when you're out here.
