Anglet Les Cavaliers

Anglet, France
🌀Strong rips

Anglet Les Cavaliers is Biarritz's accessible neighbor—a quality beach break that offers multiple peaks along a stretch of golden sand just minutes from the famous resort town. The wave is more approachable than Hossegor's heavy breaks, providing good conditions for intermediate surfers seeking quality French waves without the intimidation factor. The stretch of beaches along the Anglet coastline offers variety depending on banks and conditions, while the proximity to Biarritz provides excellent post-surf options. When autumn swells arrive and summer crowds depart, Les Cavaliers shines.
