Soulac-sur-Mer

Soulac-sur-Mer is a W-facing beach break in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. It picks up swell from WSW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 72% 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.
