La Gravière, Hossegor

La Gravière, Hossegor is a W-facing beach break in France. It picks up swell from W to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 74% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
