GUSTY

Vieux Fort

Vieux-Fort, Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe

About this spot

The windiest spot on the island thanks to the channel effect between the islands. If the wind is light elsewhere, chances are it’s strong here. Expect strong trade winds, solid bump and jump conditions, and plenty of room for freestyle or slalom sessions. Just know that drifting downwind here is no joke, especially if gear breaks. Strong riders will love the consistency. Mostly choppy and freestyle, no waves.
