Skill Level
- •Who it's for: Advanced
- •Why: Powerful hollow beach break with shallow sandbars, requires real tube-riding ability.
Hazards
- •Shallow sandbars
- •Rips between peaks
- •Can be more exposed than La Graviere area, wind affects it first
Local Tips
- •Slightly less crowded than the central Hossegor peaks, walk north to find space.
- •The sandbars here can be even better than La Graviere on the right swell; locals check it every session.
