I surf but have not surfed on St Martin as I've only been there for two single day trips. Returning this November I am hoping to surf this time.

There is a reef off Orient Beach that has had very large waves visible both times I've been there.

Last Dec I saw a couple with boards heading out to this place reachable by walking far to the right facing the water past the nude section, then out on a rocky point.

When they returned later i asked them how it was and they sai it was pretty much impossible a scary because of the reef.

They said there were some other surf-able places on the island one a cove further to the right from Orient Beach.

There are a lot of wind surfers and even more kite surfers out at Orient Beach most of the time as it was pretty windy there on both of my visits. I think there is some surfing but not sure of the details.

Good luck to you! maybe I'll see you out there.
