Small and good
We didn't expected much waves. But it was q good choice: we found really fun 80cm to 1.20 m waves. I got plenty of waves. The weather is really strange: 20°C the morning in october...Is it the global warming ?

I was with Zitoune early in the morning. The swell was powerful (11s). It was really hard to catch waves because the peak was moving. But after few tries, we got got some good rights: late take offs, big turns and plenty of fun. We were only 3 !

In august?
Hey you all!I want to go south of France at finals of august. Is it recommendable and are there enough waves? I´m quite short on time and money so i don´t wanna go there and find myself with a f**king flat sea or poor baby waves. Please mail me about your experience or give me some other information.Thank you!
