Nice but not difficult... - Ok i want to say that it's the place where i had my first surf session in my life.I had 1 sunny day and 2 days of rain but i was in the water , on september 2005 , so i don't think it experinced surfers.It was pretty cold but i only had my lycra shirt , so not that bad even if my lips were blue.Waves are pretty big , the atmosphere is cool , the big hazard is the rocks that divide the beach.I really want to salute Mathieu of the Marbella Surf School , Acquitaine and Pais Vasco surf champion , for teaching me the best sport ever.See you soon Biarritz!
