About Arcachon

Arcachon is located on the Atlantic coast of France. Nearby buoys allow you to track real-time swell conditions to plan your surf sessions or water activities.

Swell conditions

The Arcachon region receives mainly west to northwest swells, generated by Atlantic depressions. Wave period and direction are key indicators for anticipating conditions.

Practical tips

  • Check the period (Tp): a long period (>12s) indicates more powerful groundswell.
  • Swell direction affects its impact on the coastline depending on shore orientation.
  • Compare data from multiple buoys to get an overview.
