I expected good waves but the spot closed out... I just surf outside banks but it was not very good. Just big.   At the end, it was hard to come back because of the BIG clos out. It was hot!

I went with Chris at the spot. We expected a small 80cm but we found funny 1meter waves: small, hollow, tubular, warm water. Everything was here to have a good session. I met a lot of friends in the water (7). I got small tubes and one backside !

With Yann & Gabby. Only 3 surfers at 8:30 and 3 cars on the parking. 2hrs later, the peak was a bit crowded but waves better than expected (1m insted of 0.7 from the surf report). Blue sky, glassy water and a small offshore wind. Great session.

In august?
Hey you all!I want to go south of France at finals of august. Is it recommendable and are there enough waves? I´m quite short on time and money so i don´t wanna go there and find myself with a f**king flat sea or poor baby waves. Please mail me about your experience or give me some other information.Thank you!
