La Turballe

La Turballe is a WSW-facing beach break in Pays de la Loire, France. It picks up swell from SW to W and W to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 81% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
