La Graviere
Edit SpotAbout
Really hollow, Gnarly.
Atmosphere:
Localism is strong for this wave : take a low profile and surf here only if you have the required technical level.
Additional Info:
La Graviere is maybe the best beach break in Europe. It produces hollow and fast tubes. A lot of french pros are coming here when it works. Plenty of boards are broken here. watch out for kamikazee locals that go straight for your face with sharp glassed-on fins.
