Le Porge is a surf spot located close to Bordeaux, making it an easy option for surfers in the area. It offers a mix of beach breaks that can cater to different levels, although it gets crowded during the peak season, especially when the nearby Camping Municipal La Grigne is full. There are several parking lots that provide access to various peaks, so you have options even when it’s busy. Just be aware that the currents can be pretty strong here.

This spot tends to handle swell sizes starting from about 1ft (0.3m) and works best with waves coming from the west. You can expect good conditions with south-west and north-west swells as well. The waves primarily break over sand and can offer both left and right rides, though they often tend to close out at low tide. For the best experience, aim for mid-tide conditions and keep an eye on east winds for smoother surf.

Le Porge is suited for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy some fast and sucky waves. Since the spot can change with the tide and swell, it's worth checking conditions before you hit the water. Keep in mind that the vibe can vary, so you might find it chill one day and packed the next.
