Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Gets very crowded in summer, but the town is a fun surf-town. Better not to go in summer (ultra crowded) nevertheless there is the ASP surf world championship in august

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
pretty cool and a hot night life ! I see that some of you have been kind of disappointed by Lacanau (except for surfing) and especially for the night life. You guys haven't chosen the right time to come here to party. From 15th june to 30th august, the night life is absolutely wild with lovely girls everywhere and a great ambiance. It's a much loved destination for people to come on holidays, so from september the only people you will see in the water and in the clubs (when they are not closed) will be the locals. So if you come in summer, go to the Bacardi and then to "Le Onze" (if it opens again one day) but the line up willbe overcrowded... The rest of the year you will have some good surf, but no night life. It's up to you to decide what you want... |

The swell was bigger than announced (1.6m, 11s). It was far from perfect but I found some hollow ones: a big drop, a big turn , and a rush !
At the end, a pretty good session.

I spent one week at Lacanau. Ok, it's not really far from my home but it's still good to be away. After several monthes of winter weather, the sun was shining during the week. Unfortunately, waves were small except for 2 days. I have scored
