Surf School of La Côte des Basques, Biarritz

Our surf school is located on the beach of the Basque coast of Biarritz. You don't have to carry vany heavy equipment you'll be right on the beach!

La côte des basques, a surf spot for beginners and intermediates !

This surf spot is

very popular for beginners and longboarders because it provides pretty waves, very soft

sheltered from the north winds. There is usually a peak near the villa Beltza and another one, a little lower on the beach, facing the stairs. Although it is nice and fun for beginners up to 1 meter of waves, there is

more power at 1m50 / 2m, especially if you head south.

The islets off the coast of Villa Beltza filter the swell a little, but it is especially a summer spot still practicable in the afternoon. Super popular with surfers from all over the world, surf schools and tourists, everyone has to leave it when the high tide makes the beach disappear.
