Saint Denis(Ile D'Oleron) in Cote De Lumiere is a very sheltered beach break that only works when conditions are just right. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Works best in offshore winds from the west. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the west. The beach breaks peel to the left and also offers a left hand point break too. Best around high tide.
