Rippable beach break in France.

This is a beach break in Anglet, France. This spot is often more sheltered than Les Cavaliers, which means the waves are not as powerful at Le Barre compared to Les Cavaliers. The spot works best during the fall and winter months when the swell picks up. There are rips on both ends of the beach by the jetty to help paddle out to the line up. The waves are rippable with the occasional tube. It also handles wind better than the open beaches slightly south.

Fun wave in Anglet. Found on the northern end of the town, this wave can handle bigger swells due to the jetties.

Surf Les Cavaliers

This is a punchy beach break in the town of Anglet, France. This beach break is "all time" but can get very heavy when the waves pick up. It's a beach break which means it offers both lefts and rights. This wave is pretty hollow so you can get barreled. It's really for more experienced surfers only when the waves start to pick up. There is a rip by the jetty, if needed, to paddle out. Always ch...

Explore the Phare de Biarritz

This lighthouse is located north of Grande Plage beach. It's a great place to explore because it provides scenic vistas of downtown Biarritz, as well as the northern town of Anglet. The lighthouse has a couple of grassy areas where people can picnic while watching the ocean. It's all and all a great place to check out while you are in Biarritz!

Surf Grande Plage

This is the main beach in Biarritz, France. It's a very popular summer time destination, but the waves are on the smaller side during this season. The waves begin to pick up during the fall and winter months. This is a beach break, providing rippable waves up and down the beach. There is a rip that takes you out to the lineup on the south end of the beach by the rocks. Use this on a bigger day....

Stroll out to the Rocher de la Vierge

There is a beautiful walk out to the rock formation and the Virgin Mary statue. When you walk out to the rock formation, you get a great view of the downtown area of Biarritz and the more rural southern end of the town. If you go in the winter time, you can see large waves crash against the rock. WARNING: Time the walk out accordingly or you will get splashed when the waves are big.

Beach Day at Plage de Port Vieux

This nestled cove beach is in the heart of Biarritiz. It's a great place to just relax and enjoy the sun. This is a very popular beach with many locals, so get there early because the beach is relatively small and the good spots fill up rather quickly. It is also a nude beach, which is similar to most beaches in the region. If you're walking from Grande Plage along the coast and made it to Cote...

Surf Cote des Basques

Cote des Basques is a popular longboarding surf spot in Biarritz, France. It is also a great place to learn how to surf on the French coast. Waves here are mellow and there are often very large crowds. It is a beach break, so waves break both left and right. When the swell picks up the wave is predominantly a right. If you move further down the beach when there's more swell, the waves are a ...
