Les Cavaliers

Anglet, France
🌀Strong rips👥Crowded

Les Cavaliers is one jewel in the crown of Anglet's legendary beach break chain—a stretch of sand that has produced French surf champions and hosted competitions for decades. The wave quality depends heavily on sandbar configuration, but when the banks line up, Les Cavaliers delivers proper French beach break barrels with the Pyrenees as a backdrop. It's part of a larger surf ecosystem that includes several named peaks along the Anglet strip, offering options throughout the tide cycle. The café-lined promenade and easy access make it a favorite gathering spot for the vibrant Basque surf community.
