Saint-Jean-de-Luz's waters, in practice

The Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay, closed by its three breakwaters, a historic shelter on a swell-beaten coast. Wind-wise: ocean breezes inside the bay, the exit demanding respect for the Bay of Biscay swell.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Saint-Jean-de-Luz–Ciboure harbour, among the Basque houses. The local classics: the Socoa fort, the Basque corniche towards Hendaye, and Guéthary and the surf coast to the north. High season: from June to September, bluefin tuna and pelota setting the quayside rhythm.
