Lacanau

Access to the spot ?
70 km from Bordeaux / 33000
we can check the beach and the waves from the car
car parkings close to the beach
How does the beach look like ?
Nice large atlantic coast
Quite crowded during the week-end
How are the waves ? (direction, type and quality of the waves only)
direction: right and left, World Class when good combination (swell / wind / sand banks)
it's a beach break, sandy bottom
from high to low tide: strong currents from "baines" are to be considered, could help to reach the peak...
The spot works all year and the swell can reach more than 2 or 3 meter.
How is everything else ?
The beach has rewarded by a "Pavillon bleu" in 2005 because of the quality of the water.

The main Bordeaux's area spot. One of the coolest too: goods waves are close to bars, restaurants, surf-shops, my favorite for a winter session, my worst in summer...
