Les Corsaires surf guide

Les Corsaires is a popular surf spot located near the coast, attracting surfers of various skill levels. It has both sandy beaches and a friendly vibe, making it a reasonably accessible choice for those looking to catch some waves. The setup includes two big parking lots, but these can get filled up quickly during the summer months, so plan accordingly. The spot can sometimes feel a bit localized due to swimming flags and surf schools, which can reduce the available wave space.

The surf at Les Corsaires can be pretty decent, especially when conditions align just right. The optimal swell direction is from the Northwest, and it handles swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 m). You'll find waves breaking over sand, with both lefts and rights, providing a bit of variety. The waves generally do well with low to mid and high tides, and as the tide shifts, you might see new peaks forming. If you’re an intermediate surfer, this spot can be a fun challenge, especially when the swell is above 1 m.

It's worth noting that the jetties in the area help to shape the banks, particularly at the southern end where you can often find a solid sandbar peak. Just be mindful of the rips that can form on either side, as they can catch you off guard. Overall, while it might not be the best spot every day, Les Corsaires definitely has its moments and can offer a good session if the conditions are right.
