Hazards

SANDBAR Sandy town-beach break — banks respond well to Mistral swell, gentler than the reef at Cap Mérou nearby.
RIP Mistral swell builds a beach-break rip on bigger days — paddle wide of the darker channels.
LOCALS Small, welcoming local surf scene shared with the Cap Mérou crew down the coast.
OFFSHORE WIND Best with S/SE wind blowing offshore off this stretch of coast.

Peak season Nov–Mar · NW/N Mistral swell · Same long Gulf-of-Lion fetch as Algeria's north coast
