Beginner basics

Where to go

Côte des Basques on a small mid-tide day is one of Europe's classic learning spots — long, mellow, sand-bottom rollers. Many surf schools run lessons here.

What to avoid

Don't paddle out at Côte des Basques on a low tide — rocks become a real hazard. Avoid Grande Plage in the mid-summer crush and stay aware of strong rips on bigger days.

Best beginner conditions

Knee-to-waist W swell, 9-11s period, light E or SE wind, mid to high tide at Côte des Basques. May–June and September are the sweet spots.
