The Atlantic coast along the West receives the best swells. The “Silver Coast” of France – joining with Spain in the south has spot after spot after spot. If the swell is good the entire coast goes off. The quality of the waves here is so good due to the funnel shape of the Bay of Biscay - channeling the waves in to the eager surfers. The pick of the waves can be found in and around Hossegor and Biarritz – where many world class surfing events have been held.
It’s 4,000 km of coastline makes Spain a surfers dream location, with waves like Mundaka being a regular feature in the international surfing magazines. And you’ll have heard of Lanzarote which is found to the north of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands - the Hawaii of the Atlantic!
