Additional Information
Fairly difficult to find down one car width lanes. Some crowds on weekends. Best when small clean swell. This place picks up a lot of swell but can be hideous when the swell gets bigger. High tide best. A left breaks on the south side of the bay but is fickle.
Atmosphere
Nudists use the beach as its secluded. A bit laid back. Lots of longboarders.
General
Good place to head when all beach breaks are 2' and clean but super crowded.

Good option... - ...when it's not really working at the bigger spots. The left does work more often than you'd think, though watch out for rocks. Was pretty crowded when we were there, I guess early morning or late eve would be ideal. Small to medium swell is best.

flo - Cenitz cette magnifique baie de guethary est un spot magnifique...depuis 2004 la baie a été ramenagé et le resto deplacé, ca change le style mais l'esprit est toujours la...pour les vagues la gauche marche bien quand ca rentre nord ouest avec 1M50 minimum, mais elle n'a pas beaucuop d'epaule...la droite du milieu est assez fun, avec de l'epaule quand la taille s'y prete et que les sections connecte...quand a la droite du fond, elle marche mieux que les deux autres, mais reste un peu molle en dessous de 2M, avec un take off radical...bon surf a guethary et respectez les locaux
