The coasts

Surfing in France

5 spots · 5 surfable · Best today: Hossegor, Les Casernes

Beach-break days and the hunt for a corner. Hossegor is the poster sand. Guéthary is the Basque reef, a different takeoff.

The rest of the coast is why you stay. A peak that only works on one tide, a town that still sells boards in the back of a shop.

When. Autumn and winter for the real swell. Summer is warm water and a crowd on the bank.

The breaks

Best today sits first. Open a spot for swell, wind, and what’s around it.
