Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Blancs Sablons beach at the westernmost tip of France. Regular but generally soft waves that tend to close out in the middle of the bay. More consistent on the sides. Works best on W swells with offshore NE wind.
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.
Le Conquet 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 Le Conquet comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Le Conquet, you can also check conditions at Lampaul, Porspoder, Pen Hat. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
