Why go surfing in Capbreton?
Capbreton offers an authentic surfing atmosphere, with its fishing port, long Landes beaches, and spots that are accessible year-round. The location perfectly combines opportunities for improvement with more challenging sessions.
Thanks to the variety of sandbars and wave directions, it’s possible to find waves suitable for both beginners at the L’Estacade and Prévent spots and experienced surfers, depending on the day’s conditions at Santocha Beach.
❋ L’Estacade — The Perfect Spot for Beginners
Located near the port’s famous breakwater, this more sheltered spot is perfect for your first surfing sessions.
The waves here are often gentler and more accessible, allowing beginners to discover surfing in safe and ideal learning conditions.❋ Santocha — An accessible option for all skill levels
The Santocha spot also serves as a backup spot when there’s a strong swell at Hossegor, allowing intermediate surfers to ride in more accessible and safer conditions from low tide to mid-tide.
This spot also works very well in small conditions throughout the year, with waves that are easier to read—perfect for working on your technique and building confidence.
