Surf spot guide · La Réunion, France
La Jetee offers fast, hollow reef waves in Saint-Pierre, La Réunion, popular with experienced surfers.
La Jetee (Saint-Pierre) is a renowned reef break on the southern-west coast of La Réunion, France. The spot delivers consistent, powerful right and left waves, especially during the southern hemisphere winter. Waves break over sharp volcanic reef, producing hollow barrels when the swell is right. Due to strong currents and the presence of sharks, this spot is best suited for skilled surfers. The lineup can get crowded with locals, so respect and etiquette are important. Optimal conditions occur with a rising or high tide and south-southwest swells.
