Description:

Woooo . The swell was big and long:2.5mNorth West and 12s. the wind was not in the good direction: North West. La Torche was not surfable because of the onshore winds. I was desappointed and decided to go to Saint Tugen which was south oriented. I came a little to late at nearly hight tide. Saint Tugen works better at low tide. And it was a good surprise: it was my first session on this spot.

I get some long rippable waves. At the end af the session, the intermediate sandbank started to work. I went again in the water and caught my best wave: a doubling up wave (more than 1.5m) and I get a stand up tube. As the sun was at the west, I really get the green room.

me on an intermediate right at hight tide
