Our focus is on the surfer having the best surf holiday possible whether its being guided or doing lessons.

Below we have a list of the relatively well know waves from the Northern beaches all the way down to Spain. Of course there are a whole bunch of other waves that are not on the map, these arent well know or advertised and impossible to find if your not in the know. If you want to do it yourself here is an in depth guide of all the waves in the Hossegor area, Spot Guide of Hossegor

Areas covered :surf guide hossegor

The area covered stretches right down from the northern beaches of Les Landes to the reefs of the Basque country. If the swell is going to be huge then we can negotiate a price to take you and your friends all the way to the world famous break of Mundaka in Spain.

The Northern beaches:

The further North you go from Hossegor the thinner the crowds get. This has always been the tradition, however more people are starting to venture out of the crowds in the Hossegor area on their search for uncrowded waves. This has , over the last few years, pushed the volume up on the more well known northern beaches such as Messanges. The mistake that most make is thinking that the quality of the surf is less when you step out of Hossegor. In fact the world class waves are the same , you just need to know where they are and how the sand banks look at that moment in time. With the promise of less crowded waves places, like Messanges and Moliets sound appealing , but in reality they are sometimes more crowded as a result. Surf guides Hossegor tend to do the easy thing and point surfers to great ,but crowded waves.   The fact is that we will take you as far as we have to to find the least crowded , top quality waves for the level required.

• La Lette is a super hidden spot just north of Moliets. Its where the forest meets the beach.
• Moliets is one of the great northern beaches that always seems to have good waves. Its very big and easy to find an uncrowded wave.
• Messanges is heading south and depending on the sand banks can be real good. A short walk from the carpark.
• Vieux Boucau is another hidden gem of the north with consistently good banks.

Generally 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.

• Anglet is a super pretty little spot. One of Slaters favorites are here, Cavaliers.

• Guethary is not for the faint hearted. A big wave reefhalf a kilometer out.
• Lafetania is in the shot below. Really long right hand point break, but crowded.
• Hendaye is the last beach in France. Great for beginners.

We can do it in a day. There are a lot of real good fun waves including of course the left at Mundaka. Plenty of swell needed for Spain, and its also a full day trip.

Do i have to be an expert to have a surf guide in Hossegor ?

Absolutely not. Surf guiding is exactly that. Its a question of what type of waves you want to surf. We do ask that you have passed the very elementary stages and you need to be able to stand up.

• Improvers : we can guide you to a mellow wave without hundreds of people.
• For the more advanced :  tell us what kind of waves you want to surf and we will guide you to a spot with the quality waves , but without crowds.
• Big wave chargers : If you charge but havent been here before or dont know the Spanish spots , we will guide you to the spots and explain where to and how to get outback.
