Historical data

Location guide

La Sauzaie is an iconic surfing spot situated in Bretignolles-sur-Mer, France. It's known among surfing circles as a top-class surf break offering challenges that appeal to intermediate and advanced surfers. The waves at La Sauzaie are indeed a sight to behold as they billow up high against the breathtaking French coast. The main attraction for most surfers at La Sauzaie is the opportunity to ride these right-handed cobblestone point break waves. The waves build up their momentum off a collection of hidden rocky ledges under the water's surface, creating a sharp and thrilling ride for any surfer who dares to confront them. This factor makes the wave patterns at La Sauzaie high-performance oriented, leading to a preference among shortboard riders. Another notable condition has to do with the tide. La Sauzaie is one of those spots where the tidal features play a significant role in the surfing parameters. Meaning surfers should be prepared for a different experience at low tide compared to high tide. At lower tide phases, the waves tend to break faster and closer to the shore, offering a quicker and more enclosed surfing experience. As for the wind, a light to moderate offshore wind from the east provides the optimal conditions at this break. This wind direction shapes the waves well and offers a cleaner ride. However, it's crucial to note that during Atlantic storm conditions, the waves can become quite hectic, capped by strong winds and powerful swells. In terms of crowds, the line-up at La Sauzaie can sometimes be packed during peak surfing times due to its popularity among experienced locals and visiting surfers. While this can make for quite a competitive and exciting environment, it also necessitates a watchful eye and respectful etiquette. In a nutshell, La Sauzaie stands as a promising playground for those who love to surf. The conditions can offer a rigorous surf experience that's sure to test your mettle, just as the beauty of the surroundings delivers a splendid backdrop to your wave-riding exploits.
