One Eye's Surf Guide
One Eye's is an outer reef pass wave similar to the Passe L'Ambulante to the north. The wave at One Eye's is a good left, quick and hollow and breaking into the deep water of the pass. The pass in the reef at One Eye's is much narrower than the gap at L'Ambulante, and this narrowness leads to a dangerous condition - on an outgoing tide, a large volume of the Le Morne lagoon drains out this narrow pass, and the current can be far too strong to paddle against.
