Boucau is a surf spot located at the mouth of the Adour River. This area features a curved jetty that helps shape the sandbanks and creates some interesting waves. It's not the most picturesque place around, as it’s set in a somewhat depressed and industrial environment. If you’re looking for a laid-back vibe, you might not find it here, as the area can feel a bit rough around the edges, and parking isn’t free.

The surf at Boucau can be decent, especially with a swell coming from the west or north. When the conditions are right, you can expect left waves that offer some hollow sections and long, powerful walls. It handles swell sizes starting from about 2 ft (0.6 meters) and can work well during low, mid, and high tides. The best wind direction is southeast, which can help clean up the waves. Keep in mind, though, this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, as the currents can be strong and the line-up can get demanding.

With the jetty's influence on sandbanks, Boucau relies on consistent swell to deliver quality waves. So check the forecast and timing if you're planning to hit this spot. It's a great place to work on your skills if you're up for the challenge, just make sure you’re aware of the local conditions before paddling out.
