Surf in Marseille or Nice

[ontariosurfer]

Has anyone here ever surfed on the Mediterranian in Marseille or in Nice?

Next year, I was planning to study in Biarritz, but that's not an option for me anymore . So now I have to decide between Marseille or Nice, if there are surfable waves there. If not I can pick Toulouse, which is only about 3hours away from Biarritz.

Advanced thanks for the comments

Yes, of course, there are plenty of spots there. Notably on the Marseille side (expect much less options around Nice).

Somewhere there :



However, there are only very short swells and almost only during fall/winter. Good conditions are hard to find and always short, try to have good weather knowledge ! It is also much more crowded than one may think.
Still, can be prety good, with good reef-breaks.

Many more websites dealing with this coast (in French), try Google.

Hope this helps.
Have fun,

Thanks for the info. I'm familiar with with wannasurf.com, but I always think that the pictures are too good to be true, especially with the Mediterranean. Thanks again.
