Parlementia
A Basque reef, not the Hossegor sand. Guéthary is Parlementia, a heavy peak off the rocks, a village on the cliff, a takeoff that is not a beach-break holiday. The Landes banks are north. This page is the reef.
When.
September to March
West swell in autumn and winter. A small day is just the village beach.
Worth knowing.
- 1. This is not Hossegor. Different department, different wave, same ocean.
- 2. Parlementia is the name. Watch a set from the cliff before you paddle.
- 3. Autumn and winter are the window. Summer is smaller and full of the wrong board.
- 4. Biarritz is the city. The village is the session.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
- 2. Always surf with a buddy
- 3. Know your limits and skill level
- 4. Watch for rip currents
- 5. Respect local surfers and rules
