Le Truc Vert

Le Truc Vert is a surf spot located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This beach break is known for its exposure to northwest swells, making it suitable for surfers of all levels. The waves here typically break in an a-frame pattern over a sandy bottom, with the best conditions occurring during low to medium tide. The spot offers consistent surf quality and features a main peak that provides reliable rights, especially in the mornings when offshore winds are prevalent. The wave length is generally less than 50 meters, and while the crowd is usually sparse, it can become busier during the summer months. It’s important for surfers to be aware of the strong currents that can drag them from right to left, particularly on bigger days when the paddle out can be lengthy. Accessing Le Truc Vert is straightforward; from Bordeaux, take the road towards ‘Cap-Ferret’, and after ‘Lège Cap Ferret’, look for the road on your right that leads to the ocean, continuing until you reach the camping area of ‘Le Truc Vert’, where ample parking is available. As with any surf spot, it is crucial to check the surf etiquette, especially when the beach is crowded, and to assess the difficulty of the waves to ensure you have the necessary skills to surf safely.
