Venus Beach
Edit SpotAbout
be a bit careful of the rock reef to your left as you look out to sea there is a channel that has a rip and some german girl got pulled out of the water when I was there after trying to do the rip tide swimming challenge,and a few people have drowned here over the years,but in surfing terms common sense prevails- you learn to read the signs,I surf hossegor most years so it does not really feel powerful,and most of the time I surf this spot alone,but it is great fun please enjoy and respect the local beach go-ers and hotel guests,
Atmosphere:
warm ,clear water a few hotel guests and a good fun wave,I always body board this wave although it is surfable when it is bigger,sometimes I take a dive mask and watch the waves break from under the water,worth having a look here if you think the swell is on,I stumbled across it when the missus was having a massage ha
Additional Info:
fun little wave in the middle,left and rights,on the left there is a rock reef break that is a fast left
