Bodyboard spot. Unfortunately, you can't surf the North Salie anymore. The sandbar disappeared at low tide and the high tide gives only shorebreak. It is now necessary to go to the left of the Wharf to surf properly. It takes 40 minutes to walk since only the parking lot of the North Salie is open. Some are parked at the Wharf Forest Road, but it has been banned since the recent fires and there is a risk of getting a nice ticket. The biggest problem with this spot is water quality. The water is extremely polluted and over the years no effort has been made by the municipality of Arcachon to improve the quality of water. The Wharf discharges increasingly dirtier waters and only 400 m from the coast instead of the 4 km that were originally planned. I always get sick after a few days when I surf there. The water is often brown because of the detergents released, the odor is often nauseated and a film is regularly observed on the sand because of the high content of pollutants found in the water released by the Wharf. At low tide, the southern current transports these waters to Biscarosse where the pollution from Wharf is observable. At high tide, the pollution of the Wharf is transported to the Arguin bank thus contaminating the beaches of the North Salie, Lagune and Petit Nice. Despite the constant lies in the municipality of Arcachon that water quality is very good, we must avoid surfing too long if we want to avoid sore throats, otitis and e. coli infections. The saddest thing about this is that the commune of Arcachon advocates responsible ecotourism because it brings him a lot of money, but by back it openly and without remorse the ocean with dramatic consequences for regular surfers in the area. Anyway, it's to be stacked.”
