Surf forecast, what's on, what to skip. In your inbox before 8am every Monday.
Thursday's the standout, with head-high to overhead sets building through the day. The week starts small and offshore on Monday, builds steadily through mid-week, then drops off sharply by the weekend. No water temp data this week, but it's November in the Landes: wear a 4/3 minimum, boots if you feel the cold.
Beginners. Monday's your best shot. Knee-to-waist waves at La Sud with a light offshore SE breeze, clean and manageable. Tuesday and Wednesday the swell builds and the wind goes cross-shore, so conditions get messier. Skip the rest of the week.
Intermediate. Wednesday is worth a look at La Centrale. Sets pushing 1.5m with an 11-second period out of the WNW, though the SSW wind will be cross-shore and lumpy. High tide is at 08:15, so aim for early morning before the tide fills in and the surface deteriorates.
Experienced. Thursday at La Gravière or Les Estagnots. Sets up to 2m, 11-second period, real power behind it. The catch: wind is cross-shore from the SSW all day. It's surfable, not pretty. High tide at 08:15, low at 14:27. Best windows are the two hours after first light and again mid-afternoon on the dropping tide.
Thursday standout · High tide 08:15 and 20:40 · Wind: moderate SSW cross-shore · Water quality: off-season
The email lands before 8am every Monday. One issue, then quiet until next week.
Mild and damp to start, with light drizzle Monday and Tuesday giving way to a clear Wednesday before rain moves in Thursday. It turns noticeably colder from Friday, with overnight lows dropping to single figures. Bring a layer for evenings all week and don't leave the wetsuit at home.
All VF this week. Nothing in original language version.
Worth checking the Le Rex programme later in the week in case VO screenings are added.
Next up at Le Tube: Shaârghot + Solitaris + Ghost Dance, Saturday 28 November, then Geoffrey Secco the night after.

The scraper returned one property this week, so that's what we've got.
Location Appartement 4 Personnes Proche Du Lac Hossegor Lake-side · sleeps 4 · €2,400 / week · Locations Vacances Hossegor
New build in a small, quiet development close to the lake. November-quiet neighbourhood, secure parking, no character quirks to flag. Trade-off: you're near the lake, not the beach. Fine if you're here to decompress rather than chase swell every morning.
Only one property available from the agency feed this week. More options usually listed from December onwards as the winter rental market opens up.
This week: La Bohème, lake-side, for dinner. Order anything off the daily blackboard. Smart-casual, locals' pick, and it shows. Around €30–50 a head, booking essential on weekends.
