Rocher de Coulinec
Edit SpotAbout
It's less crowded (almost empty) than its not-so-secret neighbour: the wonderful left of "les roches blanches".
Additional Info:
This spot is rather a bodyboard wave than surf. It's a huge bowl on shallow boulders. This wave is short: you have only one section. You may tube here but avoid to fall. It's impossible to surf at low tide. Be careful with currents at this spot.
