Report
Hey! I surfed there for 2 weeks during august. Such a great place ! There was a good session on the morning of 8/26 with off-shore wind.
French locals are very nice and I like the atmosphere of this kind of beach.
In the morning I surfed with French people. In the afternoon the place got full of strangers but most of them were beginners and as a result the "line-up" wasn't too crowded...
Be careful with strong currents and amazing shorebreaks !

What a surprise !!
What a surprise to see the sand banks I'm surfing at since I am twelve !!!
I ride there generally during the summer holidays but the best seasons are definitely spring and autumn. Less people, better waves. Unfortunately when the wave are bigger than 2 meters (6-7 ft), there is a loss of quality. But shorebreak sessions or offshore wind can offer you really significant satifactions. Especially if you are ready to wake up early or to walk a little along the beach and find a peak less crowded than the one in front of the camping. Just try the second beach access after the camping to a beach called "the pantoufle". Quiet place, beautiful place, chance to get nice waves. Just take into account the potentially strong currents. Enjoy the surf and then eat some oysters of the bay of Arcachon with a glass of white wine.

Fun
Hi there, I'm not an experienced surfer, at all, but I took my first waves on this spot, so I'm a big fan... From september on, it's not too crwoded, but it can get pretty full on weekends and even more during the summer... And if you don't like to see naked people, just stay away... I don't think I have ever seen more naked people than overthere :-) !!! Cheers
