Les Conches/Bud Bud surf guide

Les Conches and Bud Bud are located on a golden stretch of beachbreaks between Longville and La Tranche. This spot is quite a snapshot of what you’d find in the Landes area. Backed by dunes and accessible via paths through the pines, it’s popular with surfers of all levels. With a big campsite and a car park nearby, it can get busy, especially during the summer months. If the scene is too crowded at Les Conches, you can always walk south towards Bud Bud or La Terrière for a more relaxed vibe.

The surf can vary significantly here. At Les Conches, you’ll find waves that are easier to ride, often with more wall than tube. It typically handles swell sizes from about 1 meter (3 ft) to 2.5 meters (8 ft), with the best results when the wind is coming from the northeast and the swell is coming from the northwest or southwest. The waves can be beach breaks coming from either the left or the right, depending on the banks, which change over time. As you head south towards Bud Bud, the waves tend to pick up more power and hollowness. Higher tide can bring in some more walling waves, but they also might taper off through channels, giving you a longer ride.

For those looking to avoid the typical crowds, La Terrière is a good alternate spot further south, offering its own good banks. Keep in mind that when swells pick up and it’s big, the paddling can get a bit tough due to rips. This place is best from September to February, giving you consistent waves with autumn offering warmer water and winter ramping up the swell size and power. You can ride a variety of boards here, from shortboards and funboards to longboards and bodyboards, making it a versatile spot for different types of surfers.

Welcome! If you’re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.
