Le Racou Surf Guide
Le Racou in Languedoc-Roussillon is a fairly exposed beach and reef break that has unreliable waves. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Offshore winds blow from the west. Windswells are much more common than groundswells and the ideal wave angle is from the east southeast. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves and there are also left and right reef breaks (left is best). The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Likely to be crowded if working. Beware of rocks, rips, crowds.
