Vejret i Hossegor i februar

Bilbao forum threads describe February as genuinely wintry and noticeably cooler and wetter than Spain's more southern regions, with posters consistent that real rain is a normal feature of the month rather than an exception. Northern Spain's Atlantic-facing Basque Country was described by posters as a genuinely rainy region overall, with no clearly dry month and rain a real possibility on any given day of the year, not just in winter. Real snow was called uncommon but not impossible, typically limited to a week or two around late January or February when it does show up. Posters were still positive about a February visit despite the weather, framing it as workable with proper rain gear and layers rather than a month to actively avoid.

Hossegor-forum posts from regulars living in town describe September and October as arguably the best stretch of the year: the summer crowds and novice surf-camp swarms have thinned out, water is still warm enough for boardshorts most days, and swell size starts climbing from summer's smaller waves toward the bigger, more consistent conditions the Landes coast is known for. Mornings typically run glassy with light offshore wind, occasionally turning onshore by afternoon, though posters say it often holds offshore the whole day on a good stretch. The daytime temperature sits in a genuinely comfortable range for a full day at the beach, but regulars flag a sharp drop once the sun goes down - evenings call for a jacket even after a warm afternoon. The record: 24.6C days feeling like a mild-for-the-season temperature, 16C nights, 103mm across 12 days, a 23.3C sea, 72 percent humidity and 10.1 hours of sun - the evening chill the forum describes shows clearly in that day-to-night spread.
