Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Wild and windy at the Pointe du Raz. Le Loch is the most surfed wave in the area, with the Fort Bloqué sector worth exploring. Best on a solid W/NW swell.
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.
Plage du Loch 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 Plage du Loch comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Plage du Loch, you can also check conditions at Audierne, Plouhinec, Lostmarc'h. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
