La Govelle is a well-known surf spot located near Batz sur Mer, drawing a good number of surfers, especially from La Baule. It's a popular choice for those looking to catch some waves, but you should be prepared for the crowds, as it can get busy, especially on good days. The beach offers a mix of reefs and sandy areas, making it a versatile spot for different surf conditions.

The surf at La Govelle is best when the swell comes from the SouthWest. It can handle swell sizes starting from 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and goes up, with the waves breaking over uneven reef and sand. Both left and right wave directions are available, but the right waves typically line up better, especially as the swell gets bigger. For the best experience, the optimal wind direction is from the NorthEast, and it's surfable at low, mid, and high tides. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so if you’ve got some experience, you should feel pretty comfortable here.

Be cautious of the sharp, mussel-covered rocks that are exposed at low tide, so keep an eye on the conditions. Overall, La Govelle offers a decent surfing experience, but it’s not always consistent, so it's a good idea to check the conditions before heading out. If you're around Batz sur Mer, it's definitely worth a visit, but manage your expectations regarding the crowd and wave quality.
