Les Estagnots is Seignosse's heavyweight contribution to the Landes beachbreak circus—a powerful, hollow wave that sits just north of Hossegor and shares the same Gouf de Capbreton canyon influence. When Atlantic storms light up the coast, this beach produces thick barrels that challenge even experienced surfers. The sandbanks shift constantly but often create defined peaks with genuine tube potential. It's less famous than nearby La Graviere but equally capable of world-class quality.
