Surf: Can be a pretty picture that greets you from the dunes if a morning offshore is ruffling some headhigh A-frames on the mid tide banks. Sucky and fast on the outside bank with a habit of closing-out at low. Environment: This is the closest spot to Bordeaux. That can mean crowds in season, when Camping Municipal La Grigne is packed, but several parking lots lead to different peaks. Pretty strong currents.
