    When is the Best time to surf in St Girons?

    Never! Actually depends on your level and what you’re looking for.. Winter is cold, big and windy, so December, January and February is the worst months. March, April and May is very random, water still cold(around 15 degrees) wind is shifty and so is the swell.. If you lucky you can have a nice easter week with good conditions but the probability is 50%.. June, July and August is the busiest time but nice hot weather, small waves, windy afternoons but pretty surfable most of the time. Crowded with all the gusts from the campings around. September, October and November is the prime time for surfing. Long period swell, offshore wind and not cold yet. that’s the locals season, beware of locals and don’t bring your friends on a local lineup.
