very dangerous
This area can be very dangerous. I myself have been rescued by jet ski as I was caught in a massive rip tide. When it is misty it is hard to see out very far and this can be another hazzard if you get into trouble. Surf near the swimming area for better safety as the lifegaurds are obviously very busy in this dangerous stretch. Hence why it is called the cote savage.

Bignoux
Just come back from "Le phare" this day :
1.5 meters and a very good sandbar : no depth, right and left, and some smiles when you are inside !!
We were about thirty for three peaks...
I am used to surf here, so don't look at the description :
It is at high tide (2 hours before) and you have to search the 3-4 sandbars wich give some powerfull waves.
Tips: they are closed to each other and very easy to find because there are only 4 easy access on this part of coast.
If you want to see more about this spot, let's take a look to bodyboardpro website (in french) and look at the news of mid october : you will see a video of a bodyboard contest at this spot.

Meilleur spot de la région pour les bodyboarders
J'ai du faire pratiquement tous les spot de charente maritime et celui là est pour le meilleur pour le bodyboard..la vague est facile au take off, elle est puissante, tubulaire( les bons jours) et sa taille varie de 1m a 2m l'été et jusqu'a 3m l'hiver!Cependant attention au shore break qui descend a 20-30cm quand la vague pete!et attention au courant, qui est pratiquement constant sur ce spot. Bref, un spot a sensation mais assez dandereux et que je déconseille de surfer seul les gros jours; c'est un mini Pipeline comme le dises certains...

tips about "la coubre"
first of all i want to say that this spot rocks up . it's not a mellow wave at all . i used to surf it and it's powerfull in any conditions.
there's a mistake in your report because the best tide to surf it is 2 or 3 hours before high tide.from low tide to mid tide the swell get stucked on some out banks miles away .

no title
This is a very good wave with big barrels and no bottom(20cm!!)
You must know : there are some boulders and when the tide is low:be WARNING !!!
If you want some information about this spot contact me !!

Cooool spot and Amazing riders
We are planning a stay in france and especially around this spot (the one with some miniature Pipeline).
Do you know where we can meet those amazing riders on pictures and find a cheap place to stay ?

Pretty Ordinary
pretty hard to get excited about a spot that has water the color of dog shit and is surfed by speed humps.

This Man is Insane...
I can't believe this man went out in the water and took pictures on this perfect day at La Coubre (Sept. 14, 2002), then posted the pictures on this website! Those waves looks so amazing! That place looks like miniature Pipeline! That man who went out with his camera really did us all a great service by showing us these beautiful waves, and I take my hat off to you in recognition of this intrepid feat! This man is a man of action, and he enters upon the water in amazing surfing conditions! This man is to be lauded for getting out of the indoors life and experiencing the wildness of nature to the fullest!
