With enough swell and S winds, the most famous left in the country wraps around a point offering cut-back sections rather than a wackable wall. Decent length from take-off at L?Inter to the final section with the ship boiler called La Bobine.
There are sharp rocks and urchins, so hard-sole booties are advisable. Beware of the attractive Chapeau Chinois A-frame; it's extremely shallow.

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.
