 Additional Information

This spot mights work when the tide is too high at Port Blanc and Port Rhu. Regular wave, the good swell comes from W and SW. The NE wind is better for the northern beach and the SE wind for the southern beach. Attention: this beach can be closed on Wednesday, Tuesday and Friday (because of the Army training). This beach is very hard to surf when waves are higher than 1,3 m. Some localism but it's cool. No real beach live there, just surf. Lot's of swimmers in the water during summer, so be careful.

Du 15 avril au 31 juillet, des oiseaux nichent sur les parties hautes des plages. Soyez attentif à leur présence et éloignez-vous si vous constatez une agitation, des cris d'alarme et des envols. Lorsque vous êtes sur la plage, gardez une distance minimale de 10 mètres avec la végétation de la dune. Pour plus d'informations : http://www.c-monspot.fr/situer/#206

bon spot - un spot parfait pour débuter et se faire les dents se de belles mousses avec parfois de belles vagues bien creuses suivants les conditions. mieux avec un longboard de 7' a 10 car difficile en shoart. bon spot de repli mais peu mieux faire car les bancs de sable changent souvent et donc les pics aussi.

These are 2 different spots - Ste Barbe and les Crevettes are two different spots, both located in Plouharnel. Les Crevettes is situated between Penthièvre and La Guérite, Ste Barbe is at the north of la Guérite.

hoo hoo - find this spot, I implore you.Can't believe it's not more famous. Been popping in regularly over the last decade, Ok, so it doesn't always monster (due to the prevailing onshores most of the time) but f*ck, it's pits are well sick when it gets over 5ft. Kegged meself stupid in September with Guy, Benoit, Evvy, Sicko Palmer and two totally and utterly unknown not famous at all Rostbif trayers(Told you I wouldn't let on you guys!).Well worth the effort to find. Don't get put off when you hit the tiny village, you're on the right track. Stick with it and rip my friends.
