Surf: This extensive, curved jetty at the mouth of the river helps shape the sandbanks giving point-style lefts with hollow sections and long, powerful walls. Environment: There’s protection from S winds, but not from the pollution flowing out from the heavily industrialised Adour. Currents can strong, but necessary to get out at size and only experienced surfers will handle the demanding line-up. A sunken ship adds to the potential danger. Depressed, dilapidated industrial area and paying to park adds to the unfriendly vibe in the water.
