Anglet Surf Guide
From Les Cavaliers' barrels at the north end to VVF's wedging lefts at the south end and all the various peaks in between, Anglet is one of the most consistent spots in Southwest France. While almost never as big as Hossegor, it's also not as wind-sensitive. Les Cavaliers can hold a NW wind. While VVF's stays relatively clean in a SW.
