To the rythme of tides


Surf classes take place when the tide is low for two main reasons :

  1. Because one is within his depth (safety)
  2. -Because the waves offer the greatest ride in the white water

The surf agenda is organised around the tides.
The timing of tides goes 50 minutes forward every day (ie : low tide at 9am on Monday will become lowtide at 9h50 on Tuesday).

The surf class losts 1h30
It is preferable to arrive 15 minutes early at the meeting point (life guard house - Miramar beach – Biarritz Surf Ocean)
