I am eyeing a weekend trip to Bordeaux as flights are cheap and was thinking to go surfing for a day while there, given that some surfing spots are relatively close.
I found that I could take the bus to Lacanau Ocean and choose among the surfing schools there, but I would not mind joining an organized day trip from Bordeaux for more ease of mind.
Are there any day trips from Bordeaux to surfing spots along the Atlantic coast (not necessarily Lacanau)? I am looking for transport from Bordeaux, equipment rental, ca. 2h of lessons and possibly some food included.
Are the surfing conditions favorable in July / August?
I am a quasi-noob to surfing (have done one weekend long ago) and would like to join a beginners course e.g. in the morning and then try a bit on my own in the afternoon ideally.
The second question is since I found some sources stating that while courses are offered in summer, waves are "the least consistent".
