It provides some of the greatest surfing on the Basque Atlantic ocean coastline, and providing the best surf report in Europe. Surf camp provides camping accommodation providing holidays with great weather, nightlife and within easy reach of the local airports. Great surfing spots in the area include Hossegor, Cabreton, Anglet and Biarritz in France, to Mundaca in Spain, which are in close proximity of the cities of Bayonne, San Sebastian and Bilbao. Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, or to surf all day long; our campsite is ideal for any adventure sports holiday, and is just a short walk from the beach.

After spending what seems like ages in the Mediterranean, there was finally some swell today (quite impressive for Italy really). Shame I was stuck watching them from a sharp gradient. breaking on rocks. What this place I am at needs is a beach with a nice shallow gradient, and preferably some sand too.

Shame I wasn’t in Levanto, as it would have been the best session this year, or maybe since Biarritz, Hossegor and Cabreton in France.

Surfing has taken a bit of a back seat since I have been here. Gone are the days of going in the sea once, twice, sometimes three times a day. Still, the snowboarding has made up for it, and now nearing the end of August, there isn’t long to wait for the next season. I just wish snowboarding was as cheap; ie free!

Surfing in Levanto, Ligure, ITALY is much the same as trying to ice skate on a tarmac car park. Described by the Cinque Terre Online web site as the surfing capital of Italy “attracting surfers from all over Europe”, it is pretty much the same as any Mediterranean beach the Mediterranean side of Tarifa in Spain.

Well worth a visit for the comedy store selling Quiksilver and Billabong boardies for 80€ a throw though, with “zero discounte per Inglese”. If you need boardies (even if you are Italian), the Quiksilver shop in Turin has a far better range at half the price and yes, they do give a discount to the English.

With the acceleration of a JetSki being incapable of pulling you into the biggest waves, and the rising numbers of people in the search of a more thrilling adrenaline at an ever increasing cost, we have begun trials of the latest VIP Extreme Sport – Sea Harrier JumpJet Surfing!

Yesterday a mate pointed out a surfing web site he had found scouring the net, http://www.waveindex.co.uk thats reports to give you the best waves depending on wind and swell direction, and the area of the UK you are headed. I’m not so sure it uses any massive formula, and spat Croyde out at me (which isn’t so much of a great guess, or the second answer, Saunton Sands right next to it; I used to live at these places).
But it advertises Saltrock clothing, and offers some other valuable advice to beginners such as always holding your surfboard. Could do with adding forecasts for Tarifa, Mundaca, Biarritz, Cabreton, Hossegor, La Saizie and Quiberon for me though.
