park in front of the spot go in the water and ridebe careful : the wave is square,it's breaking on 20 cm deep water!!don't fall!!!
There are parking lots at the beach.
There is a camping car place at the spot.
There are several other breaks along the beach, also in town, but more people there.
You may have problem to park your car. Still works with South Wind. just shove your car on the side of the street for a quick sesh. Otherwise, seek out a car park.
You should all start from the peak because of the wave is quite speed.But the shoulder always increase in front of you so you often need to accelerate butit is not really hard to surf.
cool spot , not much wind, protected, it run wot always but in winter with big ..it become very good and very easy to do one good cool surf ! :o)
The Webcam looks towards the other spot of the town. The spot just in front of the jetty on the NW of this beach has an awesome little peak I surfed in 2004 and have been yearning to get back to. Reminded me of Haleiwa's little section on the channel side on Oahu. But it was France, ahhhh. And it was great. Surfed my McCoy thruster 6'10" and it was just cool. Everyone else wanted the larger close-out waves that laid into Les Sables....not me.
Great longboarder's wave, and also probably the best spot in the area for beginners, due to the wave's tendency to spill. It's also good for beginners in the respect that there doesn't tend to be pressure in the water from hot locals, cos they're normally at one of the more difficult breaks. However, when the waves get over 5-6ft it can be a nightmare paddle out. Watch for the backwash created by the promenade at high tide-it has a nasty habit of kicking the wave up to twice it's original size when it hits, and also often creates a step on the wave face- fun when you get used to it! If you walk to the south, the prom stops and the beach goes on for miles-if it's too crowded round the prom area, just walk a bit...
During high season (=holiday in france) you should arrive before 2 o'clock PM to get a good parking lot, otherwise be prepared to walk a long way to the beach.
it's a classic place in loire-atlantique especially in winter ! waves for surfing and bodyboarding.
