Plage de La Perroche

Plage de La Perroche is an SW-facing beach break in Oléron, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. It picks up swell from WSW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 71% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NE: light winds or NE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SW onshores chop it up.
