Intermediate : Nice session in 3h. — Best window: 7h–9h
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Very hollow, short wave breaking close to shore. Watch out when exiting the water at high tide.
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.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Le Gouerou 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 Gouerou comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Le Gouerou, you can also check conditions at Lampaul, Porspoder, Le Conquet. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
