The Gouf de Capbreton, an underwater canyon running almost to the shore, focuses swell here and makes it heavier than the beaches either side at the same size. La Piste is the hollow, shallow peak north of the harbour wall — short, square and unforgiving on a solid W swell. Experienced surfers only once it is overhead; the harbour side is the gentler option.
