Surf: General: From Les Cavaliers' barrels at the north end to VVF's wedging lefts at the south end and all the various peaks in between, Anglet is one of the most consistent spots in Southwest France. While almost never as big as Hossegor, it's also not as wind-sensitive. Les Cavaliers can hold a NW wind. While VVF's stays relatively clean in a SW, Hossegor blows out if the wind even thinks about blowing W. You can check most of the whole stretch from the top of the hill just north of Biarritz -- pick your peak. Tides: medium Size: head-high to double overhead Wind: E (can handle a light northwest and a southwest) Swell: NW, WNW Bottom: Sand Paddling: Average most days but can be a lot of work when it is pumping. Spot Rating: Rippable jetty wedges. Access: There are parking lots and access points up and down the beach. For a less crowded peak, try parking in one of the residential areas and walking over the dunes. Crowds: Crowd Factor: At the really obvious peaks, sure, but you can walk, can't you? Local Vibe: Chilly. Environment: Often polluted. Hazards: Pollution. Season: October-February but gets good year-round.
