Seignosse - France
Overview of Surfing Holidays in Seignosse
Surfing in France conjures up images of late evening surf sessions as the sun sets over the bay of Biscay, long, lazy lunches and board short summer surfing. A surfing holiday in France is a must for any budding surfer. A short drive or fly from northern Europe and miles upon miles of beach break waves await the intrepid explorer.
Surfing in Europe originated in the surfing hub of South West France in the 1970's, predominantly at the Grande Plage in Biarritz. From here surfing spread across Europe, as board shapers started to pop up along the coast, making surfing more accessible to the local people.
The 230km of coastline called the Cote d'Argent is the longest uninterrupted stretch of sandy beach in the whole of Europe. It is here that a deep, offshore canyon juts out to sea. This deep water channel enables waves to arrive at the beaches of Seignosse, Hossegor and Capbreton with more power and consistency than normal.
This is a great place for every standard of surfer from learner to advanced to experience quality surf.
