Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Powerful spot facing Sieck island — always windy, paradise for windsurfers, wing and kite. Waves can be excellent by big W/NW swell, but always demanding. For experienced surfers only.
Works year-round, sweet spot April to November. Picky: quality depends a lot on swell orientation.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
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 Dossen is rather recommended for advanced 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 Dossen comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Le Dossen, you can also check conditions at Plouescat, Primel, Goulven. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
