SURF GUIDING HOSSEGOR

Our purpose is to make sure people get what they came for. Some come to learn , some surf already and come to surf the waves in the mags. No matter what level you are our surf guide will get you to the type of wavethat suits you. Not everyone want to surf waves like the one above. We will find you from mellow to grinding barrels.

We have a list below of the better known spots around Hossegor. Everyone has heard of and probably surfed the waves around Seignosse, Les Bourdaines , Le Penon etc . These waves are consistently great , but are also a crowd magnet. In the list below we have gone through all the obvious waves that we can take you to , but there are SOO many more that are off the beaten track.

6 waves South of Hossegor

We head south when the swell is too big. We stop first at Labenne and will go all the way to the Basque country reefs of Guethary.

  1. Anglet is a super pretty little spot. One of Slaters favorites are here, Cavaliers.
  2. Labenne is a fully gnarly spot with many different spots. Less crowds , but localized.
  3. Biarritz is always good fun , mellow waves for the less confident. Hell crowded.
  4. Guethary is not for the faint hearted. A big wave reefhalf a kilometer out.
  5. Lafetania is in the shot below. Really long right hand point break, but crowded.
  6. Hendaye is the last beach in France. Great for beginners.
