Bidart Centre

Bidart Centre is a beach break located on the Basque coast of southwestern France, where residential development meets the Atlantic shoreline. The spot features a northwest-facing sandy beach with moderate wave exposure and established infrastructure visible near the shore. The area experiences consistent Atlantic swell with average wave heights around 1.3m, suitable for intermediate riders seeking manageable conditions. Wind reliability is relatively low at 8.9%, with average wind speeds of 6.6 knots suggesting variable conditions. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) would provide optimal kitesurfing angles. The spot sits within an established beach community with visible rock formations along the northern margin, creating both hazard and wind channeling effects. Proximity to developed areas means crowd potential during summer months. Best conditions occur during Atlantic storm systems when swell and wind align. The shallow water zone extending from shore requires careful entry and exit. This location suits intermediate riders comfortable with beach breaks and variable wind conditions, though the low wind reliability means sessions may be sporadic.
