Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Anglet's star beach break — powerful but accessible to beginners when it's small. Multiple peaks along a wide beach. Best at mid to high tide on a W/NW swell. Crowded in summer.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Cavaliers is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Cavaliers comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Cavaliers, you can also check conditions at Madrague, Marinella, La Barre. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
