La Graviere Surf Guide
In the heart of Hossegor lies one of the world's top-rated beachbreaks, Graviere. In decent westerly swells, La Graviere produces serious, heavy, hollow, sand-charged pits up to 12-foot that take no prisoners. Summer sees everyone paddling out in fun Hossegor surf, and boogies playing in the shoredump. Rips can be arm-destroying, the shorebreak board-destroying, and the closeouts soul-destroying. But also expect some of the best, most accessible barrels you will ever experience.
