It can easily change from day to day and hour to hour. Best to check it out when you are on the island and have an alternate plan if the waves are too big. Typically the "Christmas winds" are around in early Dec. into Jan. and beyond so I would not expect every day to be "bathtub" conditions.

We always seem to find the beach at Anse Marcel to be extremely calm and very easy to enter and exit the water without any noticeable 'shelf' and the water does tend to be very shallow there. Ddepending on where on the island you're staying it can be a bit of a drive but it's worth it once you get there. Just know, it is NOT an inexpensive day if you rent chairs and do lunch there. When we were there in April, two chairs with an umbrella and table ran twenty euros. But it was such a nice day and the food is very, very good. To me, if it weren't for the price, it would be a perfect day at the beach!!
Friars Bay is also very nice, the food is out of this world and while I understand they are now charging for chairs, the expense is minimal compared to Anse Marcel. There are usually a few feet of small round rocks where you enter the water though they do attempt to rake them every morning, and there is often a shelf to step up when exiting the water.
But all that said, Mullet on a perfect day, IMO, is the best beach on the island. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Grand Case Beach Ans Marcel is indeed calm but has a weird vibe, resort-like for our tastes. Grand Case is our choice dependably calm and wonderful vibe as well as food/drink choices. The vid above is pretty representative of overtime we've been there.

Creole island right out front. Take a boat there. Several of the tours go to Creole Rock for snorkeling. I would imagine most/all of Grand Case Beach is pretty calm. Several beach options for food and drink.
