Le Helleux

A reef break tucked into a cove on the south coast of Grande-Terre, between Sainte-Anne and Saint-François and a short walk from Petit Havre. Rights and lefts peel over a flat rock bottom at separate peaks, with a right-hander along the cliff and a left-hander on the opposite side of the bay. Entry is over the pebble beach at Gros Sable. It runs on an 80 cm to 2 m east or south swell with an east-northeast to north wind, and stays uncrowded on most weekdays.
