France: February 2008

Since November 07 we have enjoyed a consistent run of very big storm swells in Europe. =The swell activity created perfect sand bars around The Hossegor/Capbreton area.

The big swells have been non stop. For 3 weeks now we have been stuck in the middle of a big high pressure system, so the weather has been very nice.

Its cold in the morning, but warms up with the sun during the day. The perfect situation whereby a high pressure system sits over France with a low in the North Atlantic creates perfect offshore winds. Its been blowing offshore night and day for 3 weeks now.

La Piste has been really insane, the best it has been for years.
