Les Cavaliers

Anglet, France
🌀Strong rips👥Crowded🪨Rocks

Les Cavaliers is the workhorse of Anglet's eleven beaches—a reliable beachbreak that picks up every available swell and delivers consistent sessions year-round. Located between Biarritz and Bayonne, it benefits from both the Basque Country's swell consistency and urban accessibility. The wave works across various conditions, with sandbars that shift but usually offer something rideable. It's where Basque locals go when the famous spots are closed out or maxed, and where visitors discover that Anglet has substance beyond Chambre d'Amour.
