Palm Beach Surf Guide

Palm Beach in Cote d'Azur is a quite exposed beach and reef break that has unreliable waves. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Offshore winds blow from the north northwest with some shelter here from south winds. Waves more likely to be from local windswells than distant groundswells and the ideal wave angle is from the southeast. The beach break provides left and right handers and in addition there are both left and right reef breaks. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It's often crowded here. Beware of crowds, pollution, sharp rocks, rips, windsurfers, jetty.
