Characteristics |
| |
This region is not as good as the pacific coast but it offers good conditions during a typhoon.
Autumn is really the time of year to surf this area. During typhoon season, especially in august, the day after a typhoon is as good as it will get until about october. During the middle of august, obon, large amounts of jellyfish will come into the area for about a week or so and then slowly dissappear. |

Trip: Biscarrosse
By yann, From 2008-04-25 to 2008-05-03
I went to Biscarosse for my Holidays. I didn't expected much surf as the weather forecast seemed bad. But it has been pretty good except 3 days. I get some excellent sessions on excellent sandbanks.
