Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Charming peninsula with several surf options. The best spots are usually Porz ar Villiec, Sables Blancs and Moulin de la Rive beach. Works on a solid NW swell. Picturesque Breton village with good restaurants.
Works year-round, sweet spot April to November. Picky: quality depends a lot on swell orientation.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
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.
Locquirec 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.
Locquirec is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Locquirec comes broadly from North: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Locquirec, you can also check conditions at Trébeurden, Primel, Trégastel. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
