Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
South Hossegor beach. Often a fallback spot when the north is too big. Easy rights most of the time. Calmer and more accessible — good for intermediates.
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 Sud 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 Sud comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Hossegor Sud, you can also check conditions at Le Prévent, La Piste, La Gravière. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
