A nice head-high right-hander breaks off the end of the cliffs at high tide. Hurricane Igor delivered a 19 second period 2m swell to the Brittany coast and waves were about twice this size at exposed locations. The exceptional long period (for Europe) sapped the swell of energy wherever it crossed shallow water.
