Epic tube rides on a beach break

"La Graviere is one of the best beach breaks in the world and where I've been surfing since I was 10 years old. This break's proximity to the beach and ability to churn up tube rides on a beach break will have you stoked. You will have the chance to catch epic waves before even having your coffee and croissant."

Hossegor is one of the most consistent surf breaks in France. The best time for surf is between May and October, when the winter swell and spring tides calm down and the water is warmer. From September to October, the waves start getting bigger and there are fewer crowds.

La Gravière Beach is an internationally renowned location where the World Championship of Surfing takes place each year. The surf school's hut is located on the beach, facing the ocean and waves! Spots for all levels, from beginner to expert.

If you are looking for big barrels, the time to visit is between November and April. This season is best suited for advanced surfers, as it will require more paddling.

Arnaud Darrigade will welcome you at Plage de La Gravière, in the European capital of surf, Hossegor, an internationally renowned spot where the World Surfing Championships take place every year. You will be guided through the beaches in the region to search for the best waves of the day.
