How it breaks

Cote des Basques is a cliff-framed sandy cove that behaves like a soft point break, with long right-hand walls peeling across the bay on northwest swell.

Watch out for

The beach disappears at high tide, causing cliff backwash and dangerous rebound.
Submerged rocks, strong current and steep access require care.

What locals know

Tide timing is non-negotiable here: surf mid to low tide, not high tide.

Tide: not the limiter

NORDR applies no regional sandbank penalty here. Check the fetch, swell period and wind direction for this break.
