Cap St Louis

📍 Local Knowledge

Cap Saint Louis in Provence is an exposed reef and point break with unreliable waves, making autumn and winter the most favorable seasons for finding rideable surf. It performs best with a south swell and offshore winds from the north-northeast, though local windswells are significantly more common here than groundswells. The spot is notably versatile, as the surf remains rideable at all stages of the tide. Due to its point break setup, it is a popular destination and is frequently crowded. Surfers should exercise caution and stay alert for hazards such as sea urchins, submerged rocks, and high traffic in the lineup.
