Tropical storm / hurricane Bertha managed to send us a few pulses of West swell all the way from the American shores. Most of the Spanish North Coast didn't get much (as the coast faces N/NW and the swell was W/SW), but down in Portugal and on the French Atlantic central coast they managed to score a few nice summer sessions:
This is what home was like on Wednesday am before i drove to the French coast where i had a lovely surf on a brand new board at a nice little reef/point set up:

Further up in Hossegor it was all-time at certain banks... while flat at others. In the afternoon the off-shore was so stiff that it almost killed the swell (by Gecko):
On Thursday there were some nice little lines still to be found on the Île d'Oléron, North of Bordeaux, a beautiful area that doesn't really get much surf in summer. Photo courtesy of Tristan Mausse.
And the circus is in town. The ASP is back in town after five years, for the Vans Pro Junior. There waves are very tiny, the ASP broadcast focuses almost exclusively on the French surfers -in spite of plenty of local and Portuguese surfers doing very good so far (this is what happens when the ASP regional offices happen to be in France)- and the weather is beautiful. At least it is helping me out heaps for my upcoming article for 3sesenta.
Over & Out
