SURF HOLIDAYS TO FRANCE & SOUTH AFRICA
Posts tagged France September 2009
3ft and clean
Sep 11th
Yesterday it was bigger surf on our stretch of beach, and all along the coast here, so we headed down to Capbreton to surf by the harbour. This is a more sheltered spot and we all got some good waves.
This morning we woke up early for a proper dawny, and we were rewarded with 3ft and super-clean glass at Bourdaines beach. Fantastic! We’ll do the same for tomorrow. We have been enjoying a day of great weather as it’s been sunny and 24 C all day. Tonight we’ll have home made pasta at the camp and chill over a few cold beers. More surf tomorrow! It’s a hard life!
Campsite ready, let’s surf!

We arrived at the Camp about 3pm on Tuesday afternoon and set up our marquee and tents. Then we headed straight for the surf. It was small, about 1-2 foot and a little onshore, but great to surf in warms seas so we had some good waves. The weather is hot and lovely; South West France is having a bit of a heatwave right now with temperatures close to 30 C by midday! Looks like cooling off at the end of the week, but only to the mid 20′s so still great temperatures! Remember, it’s only 16 C in Cornwall!
On Wednesday we had a bit of a cloudy start but it warmed up by the afternoon, and some great waves were had by all. Nathan and Helen arrived too. They’re travelling around France in September and have joined us for a week of surf and fun.
