Capbreton Pointe is a surf spot located along a sandy stretch of beach, easily accessible via a road that cuts through a forest and leads to a parking area near a water treatment plant. The spot is part of the straight beach that runs from Capbreton to the Adour, but certain sand formations can shape the waves nicely and make it worth checking out.
This spot works best with a north-west swell, but it can also handle swells coming from the west or the north. The waves here can be fun with sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters). You can expect beach breaks that roll to the left and right, making it a decent option for intermediate surfers looking for some variety. When you visit, aim for low to mid or high tide, and notice that east winds tend to make the conditions more favorable.
Capbreton Pointe may attract fewer surfers than some other nearby spots, which can be a plus if you’re looking for a quieter session. Just keep in mind that it’s good to be aware of the crowd in the water, as it might not always have the best vibe. This area is also known for the camping site along the way, which can be a decent place to stay for those visiting to surf.
