Le Porge Bordeaux, France
went down to Le Porge with my family, to taste the wine and to teach the kids to surf. Le Porge is the closest beach from Bordeaux. This wave can get some very good swell, but its also a good beginners wave. The surf school we put the kids in was fantastic, they get a weeks lessons with a very nice professional instructor. you can just drop me an email if you want any info.

Just wondering if anyone has wandered to La Fonda area or knows how this meager swell is doing.
