Hazards

REEF Rocky cove bottom — check the tide, some sections are shallow reef at low water.
ROCKS Entry and exit over rocks in places — watch your footing, especially with any swell running.
LOCALS Tiny, quiet local scene — a handful of regulars know this cove, respectful lineup.
SWELL WINDOW Needs a bigger, specifically-angled Mistral or Levant swell to wrap into the cove — often flat.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid to high tide
Peak season Oct–Apr · Needs a bigger Mistral or rare Levant swell to wrap in
Swell key W swell + NE offshore wind · Exposed reef break, unreliable · Local windswells more common than groundswell
Level Intermediate · Rocky entry/exit
Dawn patrol Only worth checking after a genuinely big blow — otherwise it's flat here.
