Surf: Probably the best spot around Perpignan, but in the east-facing Pyrénées Orientales, offshore winds are much more common than swell. When a E-SE swell hits, there is a half-decent left and short right tucked into the lee of the southern harbour jetty, attracting long and shortboarders to this built up beach. Environment: Wind and kitesurfers frequent the Pont des Basses and lesser spots can be found down the coast at Saint-Cyprien and Le Racou, a beach/reef set up that gets crowded.
