REVIEWS
 
High tide tends to not really work at Hourtin- Plage, and at low tide more than 2-3ft it is definitely not a beginners wave, with barrels as wide as they are tall.

Watch out for the extremely powerful shore break. It can kill! Barrels stretch further out than the height of the wave.

Excellent beach with loads of peaks. Crowds can be small if you are willing to walk a bit further. Watch out for the surf schools in the summer as they take over. Also beware of the shorebreak - I snapped my 9'3" longboard here on a 2ft day!!!!!
