Bert from France
“It's crowded from June to October. There are more or less five or six sandbars that could work each year, and everybody goes there. It will be good if the swell is big, like 5/6 ft or bigger, but below this limits it"s overcrowded by surf schools, tourists from all over Europe and locals (or so called locals, since 80% of them aren't form there, they have those family houses from their family and pretend they are true locals...)”
