Additional Surfing Infos
 Very cool between bodyboarders but be careful of old dumb gnarly surfers. You can watch the ocean from your car. There a lot of good sandbars. As the same of the other spots in this region, it closes out when the swell is too big. The wave is espacially crowded during summer. Come early to avoid the crowd and to have good wind.

  Atmosphere it's great !!!

Not as good as it seemed
The swell was perfect asyou can see on the photo. But the sandbanks were pretty bad. I got some waves but most of them were close outs. I get indeed 2 really good waves. Better than nothing... beautiful lines..on a photo...

Funny Waves
The waves were a little bigger than expected and I was just at the right moment after the low tide. We were only 2. I got mainly 1m to 1.2m waves but sometimes, beautiful and hollow 1.5m sets were breaking.  I got 2 of the biggest waves:

Evening Glassy
Still the wind which has dropped down at the end of the day. The waves were mellow but glassy. The sets were rare and the competition against longboarders was hard !

Whaou
The swell was expected to rise during the day from 1.20m to 2.5m. When I came, the tide was high but a beautiful outside bank was working: perfect lefts were breaking every ten minutes. I was alone in the water and it was really good. Waves werfe p

Trip: Biscarrosse
By yann, From 2008-04-25 to 2008-05-03
I went to Biscarosse for my Holidays. I didn't expected much surf as the weather forecast seemed bad. But it has been pretty good except 3 days. I get some excellent sessions on excellent sandbanks.

i've been coming here every august for the last 3 years. every year there has been at least 2-3 days of double over-head stand-up barrels to be had

timing is every thing
I just got back from s/w France. The waves were decent. When the sets came, they came fast. This time of year, we had the entire beach to ourselves. Check out Seven Seas Ecole de Surf in Le Moulleau. Tele 06 67 24 66 88. Talk to Julian or Thomas. Very good surfers who surf the world and know their stuff. The beaches and people were awesome. Definetly not the hip trip in Biarritz. This entire strectch from Arcachon to Biarritz looks fun to explore. I'll be back there.
