Piere de Lisse

Piere de Lisse is a relatively exposed sandy beach break on the Petite Côte that can work throughout the year, with the best surf conditions reported for August. The spot breaks both ways (left and right) over a sandy bottom interspersed with scattered rocks, giving a powerful beach-break character. Wind conditions are centered on easterly trade winds, with reliability reported as medium and best wind month given as August. Exposed coastal setup means wind can produce cross-shore chop depending on conditions; however, east winds are also described as potentially providing clean/offshore character. Afternoon thermal effects (light sea-breeze style) are noted to strengthen conditions later in the day. For surfing, conditions are described as generally good, with wave shapes reported as mixed and/or mushy and short, punchy peaks. Southwest swells are identified as the optimal swell direction, with an indicative working swell window around 0.5–1.5 meters and the possibility of closing out when swells get larger (notably beyond about 2 meters). Safety is a key factor at this beach: sea urchins and scattered rocks are reported hazards, and rip currents can develop during larger swells. Booties are recommended if you are unfamiliar with where the rocks/urchins are. The area is described as low-profile, with no lifeguard coverage reported; for emergencies, medical facilities are noted in M’bour.
