ASP contest venue since 1979, this is surf central for the Bordeaux area. The reason? Consistent surf, easily checked from the boardwalk at Plage Centrale before opting for a session at La Nord, La Sud or Super Sud among 14km of beaches ideal with a medium size W-NW swell.
Extremely lively in summer with all surf facilities and good campsites.

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.
