La Cote Sauvage - Le 43

📍 Local Knowledge

Le 43 on the Côte Sauvage in Charente-Maritime is an exposed beach break that offers pretty consistent surf and can function at any time of year. This spot provides both left and right-hand waves fueled by a mix of groundswells and windswells; while it is a reliable location, it can sometimes become crowded when the conditions are on. Visitors should be mindful of potential water pollution, which is a known concern for this stretch of coastline. The best conditions occur when a West swell combines with East offshore winds, with October being the prime month for consistent, clean waves.
