When people think about surfing in France, names like Hossegor or Biarritz often come to mind first. But hidden between the endless pine forests and sandy beaches of the Landes lies one of the Atlantic coast’s best-kept secrets: Saint Girons Plage.
If you’re looking for consistent waves, fewer crowds and a relaxed atmosphere, Saint Girons offers an unforgettable surfing experience for beginners, intermediate surfers and experienced wave riders alike.
A Natural Surf Paradise
Saint Girons is surrounded by protected pine forests, dunes and kilometres of untouched sandy beaches. Unlike many busy surf destinations, you’ll quickly notice the peaceful atmosphere as soon as you arrive.
There are no large hotels or crowded promenades here—just nature, fresh ocean air and waves.
It’s the perfect place to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with the ocean.
Waves for Every Level
One of Saint Girons’ greatest strengths is its variety of beach breaks.
Depending on the tides and sandbanks, beginners can enjoy forgiving white-water waves while more experienced surfers can find faster, more powerful peaks nearby.
Because conditions change throughout the year, local knowledge makes a huge difference. Choosing the right spot at the right time allows you to progress faster while staying safe.
Why We Love September
September is our favourite month in Saint Girons.
The water is still warm after the summer, the beaches become quieter and autumn swells begin to arrive more consistently.
Combined with beautiful weather and spectacular sunsets, it’s the ideal time for a Surf Retreat.
More Than Just Surfing
One of the things our guests appreciate most is the lifestyle.
Wake up just steps from the beach, enjoy breakfast with fellow surfers, spend the day in the ocean and finish with beach volleyball, sunset sessions or a relaxed evening at the Surf House.
Surfing is only part of the experience.
Learn with Local Knowledge
Our Surf Retreats and Surf School are built around one simple idea: helping you understand the ocean, not just stand up on a board.
Daily coaching, video analysis, surf theory and ocean awareness help surfers become more confident and independent in the water.
Whether you’re catching your very first wave or refining your technique, every session is adapted to your level and the day’s conditions.
Discover Saint Girons Surf House
Located just two minutes’ walk from the beach, St Girons Surf House combines beachfront accommodation with personalised coaching in small groups of up to eight surfers.
Our Surf Retreats are designed to offer much more than surf lessons—they’re an opportunity to experience the surfing lifestyle, meet like-minded people and create memories that last long after your last wave.
If you’re searching for one of the best surf spots in France, we’d love to welcome you to Saint Girons Plage.
