Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Pink granite coast. Surfable in winter with hollow and powerful waves on a big W swell. A unique Breton landscape. The local surf club is very active.
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.
Trestraou 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 Trestraou comes broadly from South-East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Trestraou, you can also check conditions at Trestrignel, Trégastel, Trébeurden. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
