SURFING AT MESSANGES PLAGE IN FRANCE

The major advantage Messanges plage has over other beaches nearby is that it is generally not packed with people most of the year. You can expect a boom in July and August, as expected, but outside of that there is not nearly as much competition for waves as more popular beaches like Hossegor. If you are a surfing beginner or you just want to get out on the waves and enjoy a good ride, Messanges is for you! 

​

The water at Messanges plage is comfortably warm from May through October and the swell is generally consistent. July and August you can expect an influx of tourists and campers at many of the nearby on-beach surf camps so if you are looking for peace and quiet or you are just beginning to learn how to surf and want some space to yourself, we'd recommend avoiding these two months. However, you can hike it just a few hundred meters north or south on Messanges plage and you will most likely find space to enjoy.
