Camp

Your surf camp right behind the dune: Our camp is located in the middle of nature - nestled between a pine forest and sand dunes, just 300 metres from the Atlantic Ocean. The ‘Les Estagnots’ bungalow complex offers everything you need for your surfing holiday: wake up, check the waves and jump straight into the sea. Whether you’re just starting out or want to take your skills to the next level, our licensed surf instructors will guide you with plenty of expertise and fun in the water. In addition to the surf course, there are plenty of leisure activities: chilling by the large pool, playing tennis, soaking up the sun or exploring the surrounding area by bike.

The small supermarket and a surf shop right in front of the centre provide you with everything you need. For a coffee, pizza or sundowner, there are bars, bakeries and restaurants right in Seignosse-Le Penon. If you fancy a night out, the clubs in Hossegor or Capbreton are just a few minutes away by car.

Experience Seignosse: The town is ideal for switching off, surfing and being active: endless sandy beaches, pine forests, lakes and perfect waves - also ideal for beginners. In the surrounding area you will also find skate parks (Capbreton, Le Penon), bike hire (directly on site), doctors and pharmacies as well as cash machines (e.g. in Le Penon or Hossegor).

Our camp management and the experienced Wavetours team are always there for you - whether it’s a surf course, questions about accommodation or tips for excursions. Our surf base is located directly on the site - this is where the courses start and where everyone who wants to go to sea meets up.

Lodging

Your home by the sea: At the surf camp, you will stay in comfortable bungalows at the ‘Club Belambra - Les Estagnots Mer’ complex - directly behind the dune, just a few steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Perfect for anyone who wants to relax with friends after surfing and enjoy the summer evenings outside.

The 5-person bungalows have a bathroom/WC, a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious terrace with garden furniture. Wi-Fi is available free of charge at reception and one parking space per bungalow is included. There are also coin-operated washing machines, two pools with sun loungers and each bungalow has its own safe.

Good to know: Dogs are unfortunately not allowed in the entire complex.

Extended half board

In the morning, there’s an elaborate breakfast buffet with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, muesli, fruit and fresh baguettes. You can also put together a packed lunch for the beach in your sandwich box - so your snack stays sand-free. In the evening, a warm dinner with fresh salad and a delicious dessert awaits you.

The choice is yours: flexitarian, vegetarian or vegan - all at no extra charge. Please inform us of any changes to your meals up to one week before arrival. Allergens are always labelled, but unfortunately we cannot cater for specific intolerances.

Optional: We also offer gluten-free meals for an extra €30 p.p. per week (only for gluten intolerance, not suitable for coeliac disease).

Surfing

Whether it’s your first waves or fine-tuning your line-up - in our surf courses you’ll get exactly the level that suits you. Over five days, our licensed coaches will teach you everything you need to know to get started or progress in surfing. The surf courses include 5 x 1.5 hours of pure surfing time and 2.5 hours of instruction and theory, where you will learn exciting topics such as meteorology and wave formation – a total of 10 hours.

Inclusive: 10 hours incl. material for the course time.

As surfing is a natural sport, the course schedule depends on the local conditions.

Beginner

Never been on a board before? Then this course is just right for you. You will get to know the gliding behaviour on broken waves, learn how to move safely in the water and take your first steps towards take-off.

Basic

Have you already done a course or went surfing years ago? Then we’ll help you brush up on your basics and improve them in a targeted way - on the way to your first green wave.

Intermediate

Do you have green wave experience? Then this is the right place to start. We’ll work on your turns, your timing in the line-up and take you step by step towards independent surfing. Your coach will pick you up exactly where you are.

Advanced

Unfortunately, advanced surfers cannot book a course with us, but can of course hire equipment. Prerequisites: safe take-off, surfing in shoulder-high waves (frontside & backside), line-up know-how.

Alternatively, you can register for the intermediate course.

Surf team & safety

Our surf coaches come from Germany and all over Europe - and in addition to didactic expertise, they have one thing above all else: A passion for surfing! All instructors are trained beach lifeguards and licenced by: ISA (International Surfing Association), DWV (German Surfing Association), SLSGB (Surf Life Saving Great Britain).

✔ Supervision ratio max. 1:8

✔ Warm-up before each session

✔ Training on softboards for maximum safety

Equipment

We will provide you with a board and wetsuit for the duration of your lessons. If you want to go surfing on your own, board hire is just right for you.

Beginners can use the equipment after the 3rd day of the course for an extra charge if they have mastered the safety rules. Advanced surfers can surf on their own from the first day.

Optional: Board rental is €90 p.p. per week.

Activities

There’s also plenty to experience away from the waves. The holiday resort offers two pools, a playground, sports and tennis courts - ideal for relaxing or for a bit of action in between. Seignosse is ideally located for day trips to the Basque Country or short adventures in between.

Trips & surroundings

Discover San Sebastian on our weekly trip! In the morning, we take the bus to Spain, where you have the choice of either exploring the sights of the city with us or strolling through the numerous shops. In the evening, we’ll enjoy tapas together and relax at the end of the day before heading back to camp.

Optional: San Sebastian by Night trip for €30 p.p.

Wavetours testimonials

Really great surf camp trip! Friendly, helpful crew members. Delicious food all week long. Beautiful facilities!
Highly recommended.

Great organisation, really friendly staff and very pleasant surf instructors. I really enjoyed the week!

Unforgettable surfing holiday! An incredibly beautiful camp where you feel at home after just two days. Super location and a really lovely team. Definitely go back.

I think the agency is very good because it provided us with great support and advice in our search for suitable accommodation for a family. Due to problems with the flight, we arrived very late at night. Here, too, our check-in was seamlessly prepared in collaboration with WAVETOURS and the local agent. It’s perfect and that’s why we give it five stars and would gladly use the service again!

Matthias about Wavetours

Recommendations for the Wavetours Montalivet surf camp. Great family activity for surfing and an active family holiday. The camp is really nice, well organised and the crew are friendly and helpful.

Super surf camp with first-class instructors! The food was very good and even vegan. Lots of cool evenings and events and an extremely great team!
Would love to come back!

Julian about Montalivet Family

A lovely new family surf camp that opened for its first season this summer in Montalivet. Very nicely done, with everything you need. The focus here is primarily on children, for whom there is plenty on offer – from batik, crafts, table tennis and trampolining, etc. Children of all ages will find something to suit them here and quickly make friends to play with.

If you want, you can of course book a surfing course, yoga or mountain bike tours. In the evenings, there are activities for the whole family (completely informal), from games nights to karaoke or sunset walks.

The location is great, as it’s only a 5-minute bike ride or 15-minute walk to the village, where there is a fantastic market every day from 8 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. and lots of small shops, cafés and restaurants. The beach is about 15 minutes away, or 30-40 minutes with a toddler, so a bicycle is useful (you can also hire one at the camp) or a handcart or similar.

Last but not least: the food is varied and delicious. The team are super friendly and the camp management are always approachable and absolutely open to suggestions.
Highly recommended for a family week!

Katharina about Montalivet Family

It was our first time travelling with Wavetours. Everything was great, a fantastic team on site, we felt welcome and it was just brilliant… The surfing lessons were great and the instructors made the lessons fun and entertaining, and everyone learned how to surf. We’ll be going back again next year.

Great holiday with Wavetours. Very nice resort, great beach, super team and great surfing course.

Frank about Seignosse Family

This year was a magical and varied yoga experience in the enchanted forest with Debbie! Yoga has always been my oasis and time-out from everyday life. However, Debbie’s design of the training and her personal energy and charisma, combined with the surroundings of the location, created a unique atmosphere for tension and, even more so, for relaxation. I haven’t experienced anything like this in a long time :D
Thank you, Wavetours, for Debbie, and thank you, Debbie, for your dedication! I would be delighted to see you again next year in Seignosse ;)
