L'Embarcadère is a surf spot located near La Tranche sur Mer. It's known for being a popular choice when the waves get stormy, offering a laid-back atmosphere for surfers looking for some action. Keep in mind that surfing here is not allowed from April to October, and during those months, don’t expect much wave activity anyway. The spot can attract a lot of surfers, especially when conditions are right.

This spot really shines with a big W swell, combined with NW winds, making it perfect for those soft, playful right walls that peel down the shoreline. It handles swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 m), which makes it accessible for intermediate surfers. The best conditions typically occur during low to mid tide, and the waves break over an uneven reef with some sandy sections. Overall, it’s a fun spot when the conditions align, but don't get your hopes up for summer sessions.

It’s worth noting that there's been some tension between Surfrider chapter and the local council due to attempts to build a breakwater that could affect the waves. This adds to the local flavor, but the fact that it’s generally easy to surf ensures that crowds often gather. Just be prepared for that if you decide to catch some waves here.
