Located in Landes, France, Contis-Plage is a fun stretch of beachies that break over a sand bottom. Sometimes tricky to surf but can break for up to 100 meters providing some great sections for manoeuvres or turns. Use the lighthouse to check all the sandbanks on the beach. Watch out for some pollution near the river mouth.
What are the best surf conditions for Contis-Plage?
Works well from waist high to double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here when smaller and a shortboard when the size steps up. this break is best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and can get busy between July and September (5/10). The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the North, Northwest, and West. Works on all tides depending on the banks.
We recommend wearing a spring suit in the summer when water temperatures rise to 21 degrees. In winter a 5/4 is necessary for the 12-degree water. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
