High tide during September and October which can be dangerous for beginners. Quite big and real waves easily up to 3-5m. Wave direction is difficult to assess as it depends of the tide and depression direction. This spot is on the Atlantic coast so you have kilometers of free beaches which make the launching and landing very safe. Very few swimmers here with easily 400-500m of free beach for safe landing. During summer (June to August) you usually have a nice thermic wind (10-20knots) which starts to blow from begining of the afternoon (with the tide) up to the end of the afternoon. Direction is usually West-Northwest in the afternoon while it's East in the morning. September to October is the blowing season with depression bringing strong wind up to 35-40 knots. Just check the weather forecast and you'll get a fair picture. Direction is usually West-South-Southwest. During the summer from June to August you have beautiful weather with temperature between 22-35°C. September to October is still ok with acceptable temperatures while you need a good wetsuits in December to March period. April to May is the spring season which can be very surprising in term of temperatures. Water: Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave, Bigwave. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
