Palavas-les-Flots

Palavas-les-Flots is an SSE-facing beach break in Occitanie, France. It picks up swell from SE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 83% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.
