Cap de la Chevre
Edit SpotAbout
it's one of the best exotic "surf travel" in france as this place is very strange and impressive.
Additional Info:
You have two main spot. When you are on the beach:
left side of the beach: paddle 500 m on your left in the open ocean. You will find a scary wave (right and left). It starts working with a decent 2 m swell at low tide.
Right side: on the right side of the beach, you will find a HUGE wave (rights are longer) in front of the cliff. Take a gun.
Those waves are dangerous, so don't come alone, be in a good shape. As you are under big cliffs, the atmosphere is very distressing.
