What is a Suête

Les Suêtes are strong southeast winds on the west coast of Cape Breton Island. The term "suête" originates from the Acadian French inhabitants of the Cheticamp area as a contraction of "sud est" (south-east). The weather station here in Grand Etang has recorded wind speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour on several occasions.
