Hazards

SANDBAR Sandy beach break, needs a bigger Levant (E) or Mistral swell to produce anything — often flat and sheltered.
RIP Mild rip on the rare bigger swell days — nothing unusual for a sheltered stretch like this.
LOCALS Resort-town holiday crowd rather than a dedicated surf scene.
BOAT TRAFFIC Ferries to the Îles d'Hyères run from the harbour — stay clear of the ferry channel.
