Tides: Range of 3-4m. Beachbreaks work across tides. Reef breaks more tide-sensitive. Lafitenia best mid to high. Check specific spots.

Currents: Beach break rips present but generally less severe than Hossegor. Reef spots have defined entry/exit channels. Local knowledge helps.

Water Quality: Good overall. Urban runoff after heavy rain affects Biarritz beaches temporarily.
