The Spot

The Biarritz surf area stretches from Hendaye, a few kilometers from the Spanish border, to the city of Anglet.  Along the coast in this area the sizes of the waves vary from beach to beach. Depending on the conditions of the waves, we will have the opportunity to do nice surf excursions in the close neighborhood, e.g. Seignosse, Capbreton, Hossegor, and Hendaye. The Basque coast offers a variety of waves that break under almost all conditions. In addition to excellent surfing the Basque region offers a beautiful landscape, a unique culture, food and wine. Hossegor, just north of Biarritz, is the epicenter of European surfing culture.
