Le Gurp
Edit SpotAbout
It's a very strange beach with german bunkers
Additional Info:
It's the best spot of the coast when it's big. If Lacanau is out of control (>2.5 m) come here. Always bigger in the water that it's seem out. Long and powerful waves, hollow tubes. It's a must.
There are several peaks but a long left at the left of the german bunkers seems to work often and regularly.
Strong Currents, be in a very good shape.
