Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Near the Cap d'Antibes, this wave beside a broken tower can give you one of the longest lefts in the area, even in shallow water. A right will also delight you, though much shorter. A well-known wave, so it's inevitably crowded, but the vibe is pretty chill. Works in small surf on a longboard — ideal for beginners.
Mostly surfable from late autumn to early spring, during SE or SW storms depending on the spot. Sessions are rare but memorable.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
La tour is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at La tour comes broadly from North: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around La tour, you can also check conditions at Palm Beach, Marina BdA, Bd du Midi. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
