According to what the locals told me, the best time to go surfing in Martinique is from November to May.
I went there in December and unfortunately I had two weeks of wind, but that didn't stop me from surfing three times a day, every day.
Indeed, I was housed in Tartane near the small surf school 360 Surf provider, and I spent a lot of time with Gégé the instructor. He has great advice, is very educational and is a real local as he grew up there. He was French champion in the past and today he coaches the Martinique hopeful pole. His advice helped me a lot to improve. Between two surfs he knows the nice places to go for a walk, to dive to see the turtles in turquoise water, or (for those who like strong sensations) to jump from a 13 meters cliff (yes I did it without being pushed).
It's a quiet little corner of paradise. There are plenty of beautiful beaches to discover, and magnificent waterfalls to recharge your batteries. All of this within a short drive as the island is not large.
