Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
The beach where the pros surf their warmups. But at low tide there's always some white water for beginners too. Good banks near the access path. Can be very powerful on a big W/NW swell.
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.
Estagnots 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 Estagnots comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Estagnots, you can also check conditions at Bourdaines, Hossegor Nord, Le Penon. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
