About Hossegor
Hossegor is a resort town on the Atlantic coast of south-west France, in the Landes region, a short drive north of Biarritz. The coast here is one long, straight sandy beach, and the waves break over sandbanks that are known to change shape with the seasons. It is often described as a place for powerful beach waves, especially at La Gravière, where strong waves are said to break in shallow water close to the shore. Other named beaches along the same stretch include La Nord, La Centrale, Les Culs Nus and Les Estagnots. A deep underwater canyon just offshore, the Gouf de Capbreton, is often said to let ocean swells reach this part of the coast with little loss of size. The best waves usually arrive in autumn, most often from around September to November. Several surf brands are reported to have European offices in the area.
