Hosseggor and Biarritz. These are the two places people inevitably think about when they think of epic fall barrels on French beachbreaks. The sandbars are world-renowned when they do their thing, but they are not the only party in town. Or should I say they aren’t the only town(s) in the France Basque Country surf scene.
Capbreton, which sits to the north of Biarritz and to the south of Hossegor, doesn’t get the same love the other two famous surf towns get. But it’s just like we say about any other place on the planet: on its best days, it’s as good as it gets. This was the case on Monday when the offshore winds teamed up perfectly with that Basque country surf, and churned out the kind of thick barrels synonymous with France in the fall. The waves brought out some A-list talent to boot, including Jeremy Flores, Crosby Colapinto, Kauli Vaast, and more.
