Le Crohot des Cavales is a surf spot located on the western edge of the Hourtin lake area. Accessing it usually requires biking, as it's not the easiest place to get to by car. This spot tends to be less crowded than others, providing a chill environment for surfers looking to catch some waves. While it's not the most famous location, it offers a unique experience for those adventurous enough to reach it.
This spot works best with a west swell and can handle sizes around 1ft (0.3m), making it suitable for intermediate surfers. Both left and right waves can be found here, which break over sand. The preferable wind direction is from the east, and it works during low, mid, and high tide. While you won't find the most hollow waves, the laid-back vibe and ability to find some space in the water make Le Crohot des Cavales worth a stop.
There's a UCPA center in Bombannes that provides a pretty straightforward bike route to Crohot des Cavales, making it easier for surfers staying nearby to hit the waves. If you’re up for a ride, this spot can be a nice change of pace from the busier beaches.
