Surf Break: Baie des Trepasses

Baie des Trepasses in Brittany is a fairly exposed beach break that has quite reliable surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Works best in offshore winds from the southeast. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Best around low tide when the tide is rising. Rarely crowded here. Be wary of rips - they make surfing here dangerous.
