Surf lessons near Hossegor
Surf lessons on accessible waves in Capbreton, just a stone's throw from Hossegor. Group from €60, private from €90.
Why take a lesson in Capbreton rather than Hossegor?
Hossegor is the European capital of surfing, famous for its powerful waves like La Gravière. But for learning to surf, these conditions are not ideal: waves that are too hollow, strong currents, and crowded spots in season.
Just 5 minutes by car, the Plage des Océanides in Capbreton offers perfect conditions for lessons. The effect of the underwater canyon on the waves reduces their power, creating a gentler, more consistent, and less crowded spot. Our certified instructors have been teaching here for years.
