Hyères Almanarre

Hyères Almanarre is an S-facing beach break in Hyères, Provence, France. It picks up swell from SSE to SSW and SW to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 73% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
