Souillac Surf Guide
Long left on the south coast of the island, picks up much more swell than Tamarin and can be very good. The only problem with Souillac is the same problem with all the south coast breaks: they are exposed to the southeast trade winds, which blow nonstop from April to October, trashing the spots on this side of the island with relentless onshore winds. That said, Souillac is a good place to go in the November to March wet season, when the prevailing wind is northeast. And there should also be some southwest swell in the forecast.
