Anglet is a string of beach breaks between Biarritz and Bayonne on the French Basque coast. The beaches (Cavaliers, Corsaires, Marinella and others) face west-northwest into the Atlantic. Each has its own character but all produce consistent, quality beach break waves with defined banks. The coastline is backed by low cliffs and pine forests. Less glamorous than Biarritz but often better waves.
Picks up any westerly Atlantic swell. An easterly offshore wind provides clean conditions. Works on all tides. Consistent year-round but best from September through May. The 3-6ft range produces quality peaks. Handles more size than Biarritz due to deeper water and more exposed position.
Each beach has distinct banks. Les Cavaliers is the most powerful section. Marinella is gentler. Walk the cliff path between beaches to spot the best peaks. Multiple options mean you can always find something matching your level.
Powerful rip currents on bigger days. Les Cavaliers can be genuinely heavy at 6ft+. Rocky outcrops between the beaches. Strong shore drift on bigger swells. Lifeguards patrol in summer only.
Multiple car parks serving each beach. Short walks down paths to the sand. Well-maintained access. Facilities at each main beach including cafes and toilets.
Busy in summer, moderate in autumn/spring. Less crowded than Hossegor or Biarritz for similar quality waves. The spread of beaches disperses people. Dawn patrol is reliably quiet.
Anglet is the local's alternative to Biarritz and Hossegor. Similar waves, fewer people, less attitude. Les Cavaliers is a serious wave on bigger days. The cliff path between beaches makes it easy to check multiple spots in minutes. Post-surf, the Basque cuisine in Bayonne (10 minutes) is exceptional.

Based on historical weekly averages
Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
How busy each week is based on school holiday overlap from feeder markets.
The timing score combines two signals: historical conditions quality (how good the skiing or surfing typically is in a given week, based on 5 years of weather data) and crowd pressure (how many of this destination's feeder markets have school holidays that week).
Crowd pressure is weighted by each feeder country's share of visitors. If 40% of a resort's visitors come from France and France is on holiday, that contributes 0.40 to the crowd pressure score. Crowds can reduce the timing score by up to 35%, ensuring conditions still matter most.
Scores: 5 = great conditions with low crowds (the sweet spot). 4 = great conditions with moderate crowds, or good conditions with low crowds. 3 = average. 2 = below average conditions or very crowded. 1 = poor conditions or peak holiday chaos.

We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Anglet. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical mid-June.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.

Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
The best week for surf at Anglet is the week of 23 November (score 3/5) with low crowds.
Rideable waves with moderate energy. Onshore chop spoiling the lineup.
Heads up: rip risk elevated, and jellyfish: high.
