Waves in the Landes
Our coastline is one of the places in Europe most famous for surfing. Low pressure on the seas of Ireland and England, directly send beautiful waves all year on our shores.
The particularity of the Landes waves is that they break on sandy bottoms , this is called beach break The shape and quality of the waves depends on the sandbar in place and direction of the swell.

The action of the tide and the waves on the sand generates phenomena of currents that can be violent and form what are called baïnes.
On low tide, the baïne is empty, it is more safe.On high tide, its functioning, and it could be dangerous if you are at the wrong place.
If you find yourself trained in a Baïne the best action to do (until the lifeguard are with you) is especially not fight against this current that takes you off .Keep calm and let you drift , try to swim parallel to the beach and exit from the baïne .
