The D652 gets closer to the coast here, allowing easy checking of several peaks. There are waves on both entrances to the lake. North side has fast, hollow peaks on higher tides, but heavy longshore rips at headhigh plus. Port d?Albret on the south side leads into the Soustons stretch and has good shape for kilometers. Handles more size than the breaks to the north.
Locals get twitchy in August as the campsites and holiday apartments fill up.

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.
