Les Roches Blanches - le Leyde
Edit SpotAbout
Locals are friendly but it's crowded : come alone.
Atmosphere:
Incredible spot. Works by Big Big swell. The good point is that's it's a spot that works with West wind. So at every tempest, check it. You can sometimes stay
on the same wave during 15 seconds or more ...
