West-facing, works in W to N swell. NE: starboard side. SW: port side. N and S winds are irregular. Best time: mid-tide. Watch out for the rock in the middle of the spot visible at certain tides. Wave spot best suited for experienced windsurfers.
Rock in the middle of the spot visible at mid-tide and low water — do not ride over it. Goémon (seaweed) ubiquitous in North Finistère. Large tidal range (>8m): offshore currents to consider. Shared use with swimmers and kayakers from the Nautical Centre. Never ride alone.
