France was the first country in Europe to experience surfing early in the 50's. Since then it has developed a unique surf culture and produced some of the best European surfers. A big stretch of
beach breaks of almost 300 kms wide offers you plenty of choice in waves of all sizes and levels. Great food, night life, culture, amazing micro-climate, the southwest France has it all for the
perfect surf holidays!
All Surfinn surf camps are carefully selected along the French coast close to many different surf spots to ensure that you have the best waves just a few minutes away.
Many championships take place here like the WCT - Quicksilver Pro.
Estagnots
One of the most popular spots in Hossegor area that used to host the WCT. On its best days it produces great hollow left hand waves on almost all tides. The sandybanks may change a bit every year but its impressive consistency remains the same.
Perfect conditions on all NW to W swells and offshore E winds.
La Gravière
Among shifting peaks and moving banks, Gravière is one of the few constants and most reliable spots in Hossegor area. During summer it's a friendly wave enjoyed by many grooms but during autumn and winter only experienced surfers dare to ride its heavy, hollow lefts and rights.
Once a year La Gravière brings the best surfers in the planet to surf some of the best
beach breaks world wide at the Quicksilver Pro.
Perfect conditions on all NW to W swells and offshore E winds.
La Sauzaie
A-frame
reef-break that produces good hollow rights and lefts, short but heavy barrels. This is probably the most well known wave in Central France region. It hosts annually the WQS Pays de La Loire Surf Pro.
Perfect conditions on NW or SW swells and offshore NE winds.
Lacanau
This spot has always been on every surfer's travel list. Its surfing tradition comes from the Lacanau Pro held since 1979. On its best days, scattered
sand banks produce miles of consistent, powerful and hollow beach breaks. Despite being its reputation for big waves, it works really well with also small to medium swells.
Perfect conditions on NW to SW swells and offshore E winds.
Lafitenia
This
point break located down on the French Basque Country use to be a crowd less spot compared to Hossegor. Although, since the Quicksilver World Masters in 2000, it has been attracting many surfers. The mix of sand and reef bottom produces different quality sections that makes it so challenging.
You can expect a heavy take-off over the reef, than fast walls in the middle section and finishing in the inside section that can be quite fast and hollow.
Perfect conditions on NW to W swells and S to SE winds.
Les Casernes
This long stretch of beach has many sandbanks and countless possibilities for all surf levels. It's the ideal spot for surf
beginners.
Perfect conditions on small to medium NW to W swells and offshore E winds.
Les Cavaliers
This amazing A-frame is one of the best waves in Biarritz surfing area. Hollow and fast for both sides on all tides! As expected, sometimes it may be the most wanted peak in all Anglet beach breaks.
Perfect conditions on NW swells and E winds.
