web cam owner - I'm surfer and windsurfer, and live since 3 months in Lostmarc'h village in the house with the unplug webcam.And I just want to know what to do about the phone ringing every two hours. It was not a good place to cheek the wave, to fare from the beach and the webcam seems very old. Thanks to Email me!

Surfsessions 19/08-26/08 - During this period I had some good swell and surf but the "nice" waves only showed up with high tide, and tide makes a huge difference in Brittany. The spot is also only really sheltered from N to NNW winds.
