St Jean is a popular surf spot located on an island known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant atmosphere. It's one of the most frequented beaches in the area, attracting both surfers and windsurfers. The spot features a mix of left and right waves, making it a versatile place for different surfing styles. The nearby airstrip adds a unique element, as small planes fly overhead while you catch some waves.

The surf here works best with a Northeast swell, handling sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter). You can expect decent waves, but be mindful of the wind exposure, which can affect the quality of the surf. Ideal wind conditions come from the Southwest, and you'll have a better time if you head out during low to mid to high tide. Keep an eye out for some coral heads, as they can be scattered around the break, which is a reef setup.

This spot is generally suited for intermediate surfers. Just remember to be cautious of hazards like urchins in the water. Despite the challenges, the combination of the right swell direction and wave types makes St Jean an interesting location to hit the water.
