In France, there are destinations that are essential for surfing: Biarritz is one of them. Luckily for me, I was able to go there for three weeks.
The program was simple: go to the water every day, shoot surfers and waves, eat local food and drink wine.
Unfortunately, on the first three days I was there, it rained non-stop with too much wind, no waves and very powerful currents.
But, after these three days of rain, the weather became perfect! You could even find yourself complaining about the warmth. I was then able to shoot at La Côte des Basques with super nice guys on longboards, and also at La Grande Plage.
During the rest of my stay, we followed the ISA World Surfing Games and went to see the local spots like Hossegor and La Graviere (another mythical spot in France, known worldwide for having the best beachbreak). Summer arrived here so there wasn’t big waves, however the sunsets were incredibly beautiful.
So if you want to go surf in France, you now know where to go!
