Are there organized surfing day trips from Bordeaux? - Modern computer and laptop on table in room

I am eyeing a weekend trip to Bordeaux as flights are cheap and was thinking to go surfing for a day while there, given that some surfing spots are relatively close.

I found that I could take the bus to Lacanau Ocean and choose among the surfing schools there, but I would not mind joining an organized day trip from Bordeaux for more ease of mind.

  • Are there any day trips from Bordeaux to surfing spots along the Atlantic coast (not necessarily Lacanau)? I am looking for transport from Bordeaux, equipment rental, ca. 2h of lessons and possibly some food included.

  • Are the surfing conditions favorable in July / August?

I am a quasi-noob to surfing (have done one weekend long ago) and would like to join a beginners course e.g. in the morning and then try a bit on my own in the afternoon ideally.

The second question is since I found some sources stating that while courses are offered in summer, waves are "the least consistent".
