One of the only spots in the pays basque where you can surf with just your friends and a handful of locals on a good day. There’s one condition, all you need are balls of steel because Belharra breaks only if it’s huger than huge. The reef lies deep under water and far away from the shore. Only the biggest winter swells hit it hard enough to produce rideable waves. The Hercules swell seen in the clip below gathered chargers from Hawaï, South Africa, Australia and Europe to paddle the beast for the first time. It always seems impossible until it’s done but don’t try it if you’re not ready for it. Just watch it!
