Additional Information
Due to the easy access and large car park with surf bar/restaurant it's a famous spot for travelers and locals. Waves are very reliable here and there are many peaks, although it is often quite crowded with surfers of mixed abilities dropping in relentlessly.
UPDATE: the parking lot is now closed to Camping Cars and vehicles over 1.80m
Atmosphere
In the water, there's sometimes a bit of localism, depending on the sand bank but localism is by far not as strong as La Graviere or Biarritz.
General
It's a great spot with a good vibes. Families and beginners love this beach.

Les Estagnots - Sweet memories! During Adam`s Bar-Mitzva Surfari to Landes & the French/Spanish Basque region in October 2003, this is the break we liked best. With the motor-caravan hired from Biarritz parked nights in the parking-lot (& next to the WCs) we got awesome/classic waves @ low & high-tides.We also met awesome people like Andy Irons (& his sweet lady), Taj Barrow, Mick Fanning, Lisa Anderson, Chelsea Gregerson, Megan Abubu ( the fearless!), David the Segnoisse cop (French Hai Alay champ & pest extrordinaire about our overnight parking habits) & Max the local 'air-man' from the Capbreton ice-cream parlour.My boy will never forget this visit, the friendly Basque people, friendly & skilled French surfers (male & female). Just everything sweet!
