The 3 waves at Trois-Bassins are swell and crowd magnets, having waves when everywhere else is flat. La Barriere is the fast shallow right and odd left that works in any N or S swell. Most people ride The Peak closer to shore in the mouth of the river that has cut a deep pass in the reef. It's a nice A-frame with feathering lips and tapered shoulders, accessible to most surfers. South of the cut is a fairly fat left wall that occasionally connects up on a due S swell.

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.
