 Access

From the main city around (Saint Gilles Croix de Vie), take direction Brétignolles sur Mer (road D38bis + D38). The spot of La Sauzaie will be on your right, behind a parking lot where there is a big buoy exposed on ground (yellow + black stripes). The buoy reads "La Sauzaie" on itself. Park the car, have a look at a little "house" nearly on the beach : this is the rescue station (summer duty); the wave breaks there.

 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

Great rights and lefts, very powerful and easy to find !
The spot is well known, however, and on a good day everyone around will get there. If you're not familiar with competition on crowded spots and SHALLOW WATERS, stay ashore and take photos : the wave is close to a small cliff and you can make some great ones ! In the water also, the wave is close to the cliff...at very high tide, BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET INTO THE CLIFF.
And at average high tide, WATCH THE ROCK REEF !

Atmosphere

Get there off holiday if you can, on weekdays (may+june / september+october), otherwise, be sure it will be crowded and that longboarders will trust every wave, just as B. Gates with Windows.
Even on small swell, you feel the power, as you take off very easily...just imagine on big days (where a helmet could be helpful)!

This is not a family beach, except on completely flat days.

General

Really great wave with some hazards (shallow waters, rocks, locals) you can overcome if you stay aware of what's going on. In case of less-than a-meter swell, when looking at the spot from the cliff, take a walk on your right just 100 meters away. There is another spot (not named - as far as i know-in a little, little cove)which breaks nicely... BUT in shallower waters; which means that at the end of the wave, you will be in ankle or knee-deep waters. (And dry reef sections are also possible)
So, having a look at the reef at low tide would be a security.
