Surf: Peaks break over a rocky, uneven shelf leading into long walled lefts and shorter rights at lower tides only. Get out at mid tide before the surge over the reef. Access: Need to walk on the rocks for a while Environment: It’s Oleron’s premier spot and highly consistent but violent rips and shallow rocky bottom should deter the less skilled. Botties protect against urchins on the long walk over the channelled fishing reef.
