French holidays are always until the end of August. From then on crowds taper off. Early September until late October is an excellent period to visit. The water is still really warm and weather is good. Waves are picking since autumn storms are tracking the Atlantic. This is by far the best period in my opinion when traveling with (non surfing) family and friends.

Yeah that’s why I was thinking. We went to Portugal in mid October last year, the surf and crowds were great but by the end of the trip the weather was a bit questionable.
Never go to the beaches in Europe in August. It’s when all the Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italians, take their annual holidays. Everything much better Sept. Oct might get surf but hit/miss with stormy weather.
rent a car and make your way down from France (Hossegor, Biarritz, Anglet) to Spain. San Sebastian is great. The happy hour tapas/pinxchos crawl around the old town is fun. But there’s also plenty of small villages and mom n pop B&Bs throughout the region. Good seafood and food everywhere
