Argelès-sur-Mer

Argelès-sur-Mer is an ENE-facing beach break in Occitanie, France. It picks up swell from E, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 99% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WSW: light winds or WSW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ENE onshores chop it up.
