Pointe Camille (La Digue)

Pointe Camille is an exposed beach break on La Digue known for consistent surf and a sandy bottom where surfers get both right and left waves. Reports describe ordinary-to-fun power with good overall wave quality, typically delivering normal rides around 50–150 meters and longer runs (often up to roughly 150–300 meters) when conditions line up. It performs best on southwesterly to southerly swells in the workable range starting around 1.0–1.5 meters and holding up to about 2 meters and beyond. The spot is also reported to work best with North to Northeast winds, where offshore flow helps keep the waves cleaner. Best months for surfing conditions are commonly cited as March (for best month) and also broadly from April through September, with regional seasonal winds contributing most during the trade-wind period. Safety-wise, the key concern is reef: even with a sandy bottom, reef sections/coral heads and scattered reef hazards are reported near the surfing area. As swell increases, strong currents are also possible, and the spot is described as isolated—so it’s important to be prepared for self-rescue and avoid pushing into higher-swell conditions if conditions look marginal. Crowd conditions are generally described as unlikely to be too crowded, with empty weekdays and few surfers on weekends. Access is described as a short walk (about 5 to 15 minutes) from public access points or via island tracks, which contributes to its lower-profile feel when surf is up.
