Forecast for Monday 31 August
Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Sheltered cove on the Goëlo coast. A local spot that can also work for kitesurfing and wingfoil. Often best at low to mid tide with a solid W/NW swell. Quiet and authentic Breton atmosphere.
Works year-round, sweet spot April to November. Picky: quality depends a lot on swell orientation.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Bréhec usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Bréhec is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Bréhec comes broadly from South-East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Bréhec, you can also check conditions at Trestrignel, Erquy, Trestraou. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
