La Tranche sur Mer
Edit SpotAbout
It is now (July 2001) forbidden to surf at l'embarcadère, due to a navigation channel... email Chirac and complain...
Additional Info:
It works only by very big swell. Come here during a storm. The interessant point is that the spot works with West wind. It's not hollow but and never more than 1.5 m. But hte wave is regular and very long. That is why it's so popular.
