Editor’s note: We’ve been going slightly looney with Atlantic Overdrive over the past few days covering the nonstop barrage of swell hitting Europe in realtime. Occasionally, material will stop us in our tracks enough to pull it out of the never-ending feed of magical moments from multiple countries and set it apart on its own, in case anyone missed it. These images from France from December 13th did just that.

France was bombing Monday for golden hour. That God’s breath (aka offshore wind) was blowing spray out the back. That evening light was shining bright. And a handful of brave Frenchman, including longtime WSL grinder Marc Lacomare and international tube hound Benjamin Sanchis, tackled maxed-out beachbreak surf at La Nord. With the swell period dropping some overnight, Tuesday looks promising. (Check out the SW France forecast right here.)

“It was super smooth at the back of La Grav, but it got way too big for the high tide bank where we normally step-off,” says Lacomare. “But it felt nice to be in the ocean on a sunny day after two weeks of storms. I ended up just riding a little 6’2” step-up. Tomorrow should be a bit smaller in the north, so maybe I’ll ride a bigger board. It could be one of those beautiful days.”

“Tonight was just magical,” Sancho said. “The last half-hour of light we had was crazy. The waves were good up until dark. But tomorrow looks smaller, so we’ll probably end up doing step-offs in to the shorebreak, I think. The next few days should be fun.”
