Peaks break over a rocky, uneven shelf leading into long walled lefts and shorter rights at low tide only.
It's Oleron's premier spot and highly consistent but violent rips and shallow rocky bottom should deter the less skilled. Botties protect against urchins on the long walk over the channelled fishing reef.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
