Summersurf

Summersurf Oktober Surfcamp offers a unique end-of-season surf experience in Carcans Plage on the French Atlantic coast. While others are unpacking their winter clothes, you can spend three weeks from late September to mid-October surfing uncrowded waves and enjoying the last warm days of summer. You stay in charming wooden chalets at Village de l'Océan, located in the south of Carcans Plage right at the forest edge. Each chalet has two double bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with stove, fridge, and cookware, a private bathroom, and a wooden veranda for evening hangouts. The beach is a quick walk via the dune boardwalk, and the town center with surf shops, restaurants, and bars is just two minutes on foot. The surf course runs Monday through Friday with daily 90-minute practical sessions plus surf theory, totaling 11 hours of instruction. Group sizes are capped at 8 students per instructor, and you get free use of all equipment from sunrise to sunset on course days. Summersurf is one of Germany's oldest DWV-certified surf schools with over 20 years of experience. The camp has a relaxed social vibe without the party atmosphere. Sunday nights start with a Pizza Night where the camp buys you a pizza. Twice weekly, everyone contributes to the legendary Camp Dinner. Sunset surf sessions, theory talks, and longboard skating fill the after-surf hours. The weekly supermarket run ensures you have food for self-catering. The October season works well for surfers who want quality waves without summer crowds. The Atlantic delivers consistent swells, water temperatures are still comfortable in a full wetsuit, and the empty beaches mean more waves for everyone.
