Hazards

REEF Limestone reef bottom — booties strongly recommended. Sharp rocks on low tide.
RIP Mistral swell builds a strong rip off the reef's edge — use the deep channel beside the rocks to get out, and paddle wide of the shallow reef top.
LOCALS Small, dedicated reef crew near Marseille — experienced surfers who know the tide windows; watch first if you're unfamiliar with the reef.
MISTRAL Mistral can create storm conditions quickly. Check forecast and don't get caught in a sudden Mistral.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid to high rising · low tide exposes reef dangerously
Peak season Oct–Apr · Mistral NW wind creates swell · Reef needs 1m+ to work properly
Swell key NW Mistral swell + E offshore · Reef break · Powerful when working
Level Intermediate to advanced · Reef bottom · Booties required · Not for beginners
Dawn patrol Check Mistral forecast — it blows strongest in the morning. Swell builds during strong Mistral events.
