Moliets-Plage Surf Guide
Moliets is your classic French resort dream - shifty peaks, pine trees, sand dunes, campsites and cycle paths. Works best in smaller swells, has a tendency to close out as it picks up. The River Huchet conspires to create some decent banks. Can get busy and jostley in the summer but this is Les Landes so walk a little, find another peak.

Summer is swamped with surf schools and surf camps, in the Autumn there's something for everyone, especially on smaller days.
