La Corniche in Tunisia is a popular surf spot located along the coastal road between Bizerte and the Mediterranean. Known for its scenic views and relatively secluded beaches, it attracts surfers looking for waves away from the busier spots. The area features a mix of rugged landscapes and charming towns, making it a unique destination for both surfers and nature lovers.
For optimal surfing, the spot works best with swells coming from the NorthWest but can also handle NorthEast swells. La Corniche is good for swell sizes starting from 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and can break nicely over boulders. The wave types here are primarily reef breaks, with lefts being the main direction. Surfers can hit the waves at any tide—low, mid, or high—but it’s worth noting that the best sessions often happen with a west wind. This spot is recommended for expert surfers due to the challenging conditions.
If you're seeking a more secluded experience, head to the juicy left at Pointe du Daouli next to the 'El Bistro' restaurant. It's not uncommon to find yourself surfing alone there, and there are unmarked gravel roads leading to even more hidden spots. The area has a unique landscape, with a vast forest appearing just east of Bizerte after crossing the canal, adding to the natural beauty of the surfing experience.
