Character
01Les Cavaliers is defined by powerful left + right peaks over sand beside rock groynes. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02W–NW swell, e–se offshore and low to mid · rising form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.9–2.8 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03This is an advanced profile: positioning, entry and exit should be assessed before committing. Pay particular attention to adour-influenced current, rock groynes, heavy shorebreak. Local signs and advice always take priority.
