Spots around Hossegor

La Sud
The waves of La Sud are the ideal place to discover the learning of surfing. This spot holds several peaks which allows to have a wide choice before getting into the water! In addition the spot offers waves that break both on the left and right. The South is bounded by the port and a rocky strip that separates it from La Centrale. The beach extends over several hundred meters, so the distribution between surfers and schools is facilitated.

La Centrale
La Centrale beach is home to two types of waves. Indeed, the wave of the North offshore is one of the big waves of reference in the sector. When big waves come in La Nord offers the best chargers in the area waves of 3-4 meters. Sufficient to organize in recent years the Rip Curl Challenge La Nord surfing but also Stand Up Paddle. La Centrale beach also offers a hollow wave that works well at high tide. When the conditions lend themselves to high tide, beautiful tubes are drawn for the pleasure of all!

La Gravière
Wave Worldclass, La Gravière is THE SPOT that everyone knows in Hossegor and in the world. An explanation ? These tubular waves similar to Pipeline but also the fact that the Quiksilver Pro France, stage of the WCT, is practically every year on this mythical spot. The best surfers are therefore at La Gravière to tame his hits and try to have one of the waves of their lives! The gravel pit is a shorebreak wave that requires a certain technique and commitment to any event!

Les Estagnots & Les Bourdaines
Estagnots and Bourdaines are two similar spots. Indeed, they offer surfers of all levels waves of qualities to learn or improve their surfing. The waves of these two spots work as well at high tide as at low tide for most of the time. Left and right waves break for many meters at low tide.

Santocha
The Santocha wave is a particular wave because it is the only wave to sweep only right. The reason ? It is located against a rocky bank facing the CERS of Capbreton. Technical wave and hollow when the swell is well wedged, the surfers of a good level will feast! Nevertheless beginners can learn to surf without problem when conditions permit.
Surf Level: Beginner – Intermediate
Le Prévent
Spot also located opposite the CERS of Capbreton, the Prévent is a place where learning to surf is ideal. Indeed, this spot offers waves of average sizes, perfect for novice and intermediate surfers. This spot is also good when there is wind. Due to its location, the Prevent is sheltered from the wind and therefore a real fallback spot.
Surf Level: Beginner – Intermediate
La Piste
The La Piste wave is the twin sister of La Gravière. This tubular wave requires a good level of surfing for people who come to surf it. The wave sweeps both left and right and offers several options for exits. The track shows its most beautiful face on days when the swell is quite consistent and conducive to the tubes. The vague reference to Capbreton!
