Beauvallon is a surf spot located near the popular area of St-Tropez. This beach offers a laid-back vibe and is less crowded compared to its neighboring resorts. The waves here can be pretty fun, especially when conditions align. It's a great choice if you're looking for a spot that is not always packed with surfers but can still deliver decent rides when the swell is on.
The best time to surf at Beauvallon is when there's an east swell coming in, which helps produce fast and hollow waves. This spot handles swell sizes well, from about 0.3 meters (1 ft) and can work with swell directions from the northeast and east. The waves break over a sandy bottom, making it a beach break, and you can catch both left and right waves. It’s important to note that the preferred wind direction is northwest, and the spot works best at all tide heights: low, mid, and high. Intermediate surfers will find it suitable, but be ready for a bit of competition when conditions are just right.
If you're looking for other spots to check out, consider heading to La Nartelle further east, which can also offer good surf conditions and some variety. Don’t forget to bring your gear and enjoy the wave-riding experience at Beauvallon!
