Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
North Hossegor beach with powerful waves. The only beach break that holds size above 3 m at low tide. Multiple banks to explore north of the main car park. Less crowded than central Hossegor.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
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.
Hossegor Nord is rather recommended for advanced 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 Hossegor Nord comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Hossegor Nord, you can also check conditions at Bourdaines, Estagnots, La Gravière. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
