Ready to catch your first wave? Dreaming of leveling up your surf game? Wondering if France is the right spot to make this happen?
You’re in for a treat! A Surf Camp in France offers endless waves, laid-back vibes, and that je ne sais quoi only France can deliver. Whether you’re a total newbie or already know your way around a board, these camps are your ticket to surfing paradise.
Picture this: mornings spent catching waves with expert instructors who know every break like the back of their hand. Afternoons mastering your pop-up on the beach, and evenings swapping stories over fresh seafood and local wine. A Surf Camp in France is not just about learning to surf, it’s also about living the surf life, even if just for a few days.
While they’re epic, France isn’t just about croissants and coffee. The Atlantic coast is a surfer’s playground, serving up waves for every skill level. From mellow beach breaks perfect for beginners to heavy barrels that’ll get your heart pumping, France has got the goods. Plus, you’re mixing surf culture with French culture – how cool is that?
Ready to wax up and paddle out? Join a Surf Camp in France and have the time of your life!
Most Surf Camps in France hook you up with everything you need: board rental, wetsuit, daily lessons, and a place to crash.
Speaking of accommodation, while you can certainly opt for a budget hostel, you can also choose cozy surf lodges, beachfront apartments, or traditional French guesthouses.
And as for popular destinations for a surf getaway in France, you’re spoiled for choice.
Hossegor is home to world-class beach breaks and the Quiksilver Pro France. When you’re not in the water, you’ll find yourself hanging at beachfront cafes, checking out surf shops, or vibing with surfers from around the world. The waves are ideal mostly for intermediate and advanced surfers, with few spots for beginners.
Right next to Hossegor but with a more chilled-out atmosphere, Capbreton is the locals’ choice. It’s where you’ll find French surfers starting their day on the surfboard and ending it with a glass of wine at a family-run bistro.
The grandmother of European surf culture, Biarritz keeps it classy with a side of gnarly. This is where luxury perfectly blends with surf culture. Start your day with a morning surf session, and indulge in fresh croissants at historic cafes afterward. The waves here cater to everyone, from first-timers to seasoned pros looking for a challenge.
If you're looking for a mellower scene, Lacanau is your jam. It’s the perfect destination for learning the ropes without the pressure of more famous spots. The consistent waves and laid-back atmosphere make it ideal for improving your skills.
Anglet is that hidden gem you tell your best friends about. With 11 beaches serving up consistent waves and minimal crowds, it’s a surfer’s dream come true. Plus, the post-surfing food scene is amazing!
Timing is everything in surfing, and France's waves dance to the seasons' rhythm. For beginners, the sweet spot is definitely summer, from June to September, when the waves are gentler and the water’s warmer.
But if you're already comfortable on a board and looking for some serious action, fall (September to November) is when things get spicy. The water is still warm, the tourists have cleared out, and the Atlantic serves up some power swells.
Winter (December to February) comes with waves for advanced, while spring (April to June) offers a nice mix of conditions for everyone.
Still looking for that perfect wave? Join a Surf Camp in France and get ready for a rad experience!
