Poste Lafayette
Poste Lafayette is a lower-key east-coast spot north of Palmar, in a bay that gives both flat and wavy water and a self-rescuing layout — riders can land and walk back upwind from almost any point along the beach. Wind is generally onshore and stable through the Apr-Nov trade wind season.
