Surf: General: Moliets is your classic French resort dream - shifty peaks, pine trees, sand dunes, campsites and cycle paths. Works best in smaller swells, has a tendency to close out as it picks up. The River Huchet conspires to create some decent banks. Can get busy and jostley in the summer but this is Les Landes so walk a little, find another peak. Tides: Works through the tides. Size: Waist to head high. Wind: E Swell: Small to medium W - NW Bottom: Sandbanks Paddling: Not too bad, closes out as it picks up. Spot Rating: Thronging summer resort with fun shifty peaks. Messanges to the south can offer better consistency and quality. Access: Parking on Rue de l'Embouchure, busy in the summer. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Busy, really busy in the summer. Local Vibe: Competitive locals on the better peaks who can get tired of enthusiastic visitors. Environment: Fine, suffers after heavy rains. Hazards: Big bailed boards in the summer, crowds. Season: September - February
