Biarritz
Belle-époque Atlantic. The surf capital of Europe, with the food culture (one Michelin star per 5000 residents) and the empty winter beaches when the British surfers go home. San Sebastián is 30 min by road.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Atlantic-tempered — air rarely exceeds 28°C even in heatwave summers. Sea climbs from 18°C in May to 22°C in late August; warmest swim window is July–September. October still mild and dramatically empty. The November–March surf season is a different trip — wetsuits and Atlantic storms.
