First you go like you are going to Grand Isle. Then you take aright at the sportsman paradise cornerstore which is after you go through Leeville. You stay on this road untill you go over a bridge then you take a right.This road takes you to the beach.The first break is right thereb(barges). Another break is to the right all the way down the beach(rock jetty).
The best surf is usually at the end. Sometimes it gets too blown out and I just go to to the state park at the end of Grand Isle(pier).Its alot cleaner at the pier. Parking is 2$. About parking on the beach at Fourchon. Make sure the tide cant come up and drag your car out to sea.
Overview
Atmosphere
The best time you want to look for is when a front is comeing and it is pulling air out of the south. You want to be there right after the front passes. We do get some hurricaane ground swells, ocasionally.
General
I think it is fun. It is never crowded. At the most 20 people out there. Here are some helpful websites. Buoys: wavcis.csi.lsu.edu/
Yep
We deffinately get some nice waves in the Gulf but not very often. I haven't been out to CI but I have seen some pics of really nice cheast and head high waves rolling through in fishing pictures. The water is Aqua in color also. Doesn't look like La. The Islands are disapearing though so our best surf spot, Chandeleur Islands might be gone withinthe next decade if something isn't done. Holla
