Grande-Terre consists of gently rolling scrubland and numerous sugar-cane fields. Le Moule, facing NE on the crescent-shaped coastline of Grande-Terre, is the main surfers hangout. Good exposure to N-E swells, it's the most consistent and crowded wave around. Normally this reef works as a 2-4ft (0.5-1.2m) onshore left with a juicy take-off right in front of the car park, plus there is a rideable beachbreak nearby.
Watch out for rocks and urchins when getting in and out of the water at Le Moule.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
