Ste Barbe Surf Guide

Sainte Barbe in Brittany is an exposed beach break that is fairly consistent. Best suited to longboards and best around high tide. Summer tends to be often flat. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. This is just one point on a huge arc of beach so relatively few surfers here, even on good days.
