Secret Spot Lodge is a brilliant base to explore the surf around the area. The house is super comfortable and it feels really like a home. Nelly and Troy go out of their way to make sure things are running smoothly. Important point to note: it is very important to have your own car as the house is not close to many amenities.
Hi Frederique, thanks for your review. Yes a car is advisable as in this area of France beaches and villages are set apart, the amenaties however are only a short cycle ride away on our bikes. This is mentioned on our site.
No warning really needed for the surf. It may be better to check surf seasons of where you are going before you book your next surf trip. In the spring time and summer in this area there are small friendly summers waves great for beginners and improvers like yourself. October in France has a very well known and documented big wave season and has been on the surfers path for decades , thus the Quiksilver Pro France being held during your stay.
Troy is a brilliant instructor - patient, knowledgeable and encouraging.
But be warned: France's surf is brutally strong, especially in October!
The owners, nelly and troy are so welcoming and friendly and the accommodation is beautiful, very nicely decorated and a lush seating area and swimming pool outside. It's only a 10 minute drive to moliets which is a huge beach with lots of restaurants, if you fancy a treat try hotel l'ocean. We traveled the rest of the coast south to Spain and came back to moliets as it was our favourite.
My husband and I had 2 lots of lessons. We have had lessons from other instructors and found troy excellent, his knowledge, patience and safety were second to none and he gave us loads of tips of where to surf that was suited to our level, and more importantly, where not too. Look forward to more lessons next year!

After a couple of hours of tuition Troy will have the majority of you standing and after a few lessons you should have a good enough understanding of the safety and technical aspect of surfing to go and enjoy it yourself.

So many people have had an intro and want to get beyond the beginners stage. No need to waist time on the intro,s we will take you straight into a more advanced lesson , working on improving your surfing technique. Includes equipment during the 1.5h lesson and transport to the beach. If you want to take your surfing to the next level, Troy will help you progress faster, refine your technique and m
Advanced Surf Lessons
A short verbal assesment before the lesson will be done to allow us to formulate a lesson according to the surfers ability and also to address any areas that need brushing up on or any goals that the surfer wants to achieve. The lesson is 1.5 hours and includes any equipment required. Our instructor is licensed to teach 8 students, although we will always try to keep the groups small.
Surf Guide
Our local surf guide Troy, has been surfing this area for over 30 years and guarantees that you WILL find the best sand banks or reefs for that day. You’ve come on a surf trip , so treat yourself, take advantage of local knowledge and get the quality waves for that day or for the entire trip on a daily surf trip basis.
The beaches along the Hossegor and Capbreton coast stretch continuously north and south offering a huge choice of surf for everyone. Capbreton has 7 km of beaches starting at the busy side of town and extending south where sand dunes and pine forest merge gently with the incredible beauty of the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The beaches by the main town are perfect for beginners and intermediate surfing standards
Across the harbour is the famous surf town of Hossegor, where European surfing really took off. The main stretch of beach, Plage Centrale and La Sud, beside the main promenade are great place to learn to surf in Hossegor. For those more experienced there's the opportunity to surf the breaks where the Worlds No.1 surfers duke it out every September in the World Championship Tour, the legendary La Nord and La Graviere.
The beaches reach Seignosse a few km’s north – here Les Bourdaines is perfect for longboarders, and Le Penon is a real quality beach break that’s a bit quieter and just as much fun. Further south is Biarritz with its classic waves and stunning cliffs. And down by St.Jean de Luz is Belharra, one of the worlds most impressive big wave surf spots.
