Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Quiberon isthmus, wild coast. Several fallback spots — a long series of beach breaks that work when the main peninsula is too big. Best at low to mid tide on a W/NW swell. Can be very windy.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
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.
Penthièvre 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 Penthièvre comes broadly from North: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Penthièvre, you can also check conditions at Plouharnel, Carnac, Port Blanc. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
