Le Penon Surf Guide
Can be home to some quality banks and peeling lefts and rights all along this stretch of sand. When the whole of Hossegor is going off, this can be one of the least busy spots. Fun peaks working best in small to medium swells - the rips can be unruly when it picks up.
Local Vibe
Competitive.
Crowd Factor
Can often be less busy than the big name Hossegor spots but still draws a crowd.
Spot Rating
Quality beachbreak, best in smaller swells with fun peaks and long walls.
Shoulder Burn
The rip picks up with the size.
Water Quality
Good, but suffers after heavy rains.
Hazards
Rips when big, some car crime.
Access
Large car park behind the dunes.
Bottom
Sand.
Best Season
September - November.
