Surfing Guide to Seignosse
Discover the best waves in the Landes with our Surf Guide service in Seignosse. Accompanied by an experienced local guide, set off to explore wild, off-the-beaten-track spots, selected each day based on swell, wind and tide conditions. This personalised experience ensures you’re surfing in the right place at the right time, whilst receiving advice tailored to your ability.
To make the most of this unique adventure, we recommend booking in advance. Places are limited to ensure a high-quality experience and the best surfing conditions, particularly during the summer and school holidays.
What should I bring to my surf lesson?
We provide the board, the wetsuit and the instructor. Just bring a T-shirt to wear under the wetsuit, a towel, a change of clothes and a bottle of water.
What time are the lessons?
We organise lessons approximately 2 hours before and after low tide
based on standard tidal ranges of 50–70. This may be longer with lower tidal ranges, but in any case, we organise the groups ourselves according to age and ability to ensure you have the best possible experience.
We will therefore contact you the day before the lessons to let you know your lesson time, based on the tides as well as "reliable swell and weather forecasts".
