Le petit train - Cap Ferret
Le petit train is a powerful beach break that works best during low tide, featuring fast waves that often close out but can deliver exceptional rides. The waves break both right and left over a sandy bottom, and with swells over 1.5 meters, it can resemble the famous Puerto Escondido. Be cautious of the strong north current.
This semi-secret spot is easily accessible from Arcachon via a tourist train, followed by a short walk of about 100 meters to the beach. While the atmosphere is friendly with few locals, it can get crowded on weekends. The wave conditions improve with rising tides, but the currents can become challenging, making it less suitable for beginners. Experienced surfers will appreciate the opportunity to catch quality waves without the hassle of a crowded lineup.
