Anglet - La Barre
Edit SpotAbout
Great spot when the swell is around 2 meters .
This spot can be seen in the "Endless Summer" film.
Additional Info:
The construction of the jetty has damaged this wave. Still some good lefts to surf when the swell is big. A lot of backwash at high tide. The water can be very polluted sometimes. This spot is well protected from north and south winds.
