Kerloch.

Kerloch sits on the northern end of the long scalloped bay of Anse de Dinan on the Crozon Peninsula, breaking as an a-frame beachbreak over a clean sand bottom. The wave is well-covered and forgiving, producing slopey, medium-paced walls that invite extended cutback sections rather than steep vertical surfing. Rides regularly stretch to 100-200m when the swell is lined up. The spot comes alive during winter on solid SW to NW groundswells, with the optimal window on a clean NW pulse pushing in on a rising to high tide. When westerly winds pick up, tucking into the north corner can keep sessions going - that corner also tends to offer a more defined right-hander, as the Breton name Kerloc'h signals to locals. Rip currents run consistently toward the take-off zone, which actually makes paddling out straightforward once you read the flow, but requires attention for less experienced surfers. A river estuary influence means water quality can drop after heavy rain. The beach is visible from the road and free roadside parking sits directly above it, making access simple. The same long beach holds two other distinct breaks - Kersiguennou further south works as a sheltered summer option for beginners in front of the cliffs, while Goulien at the southern end picks up more size on W-NW swells. Crowds are moderate for the region.

Slopey walls that stretch 200 metres over sand, inviting cutbacks instead of airs.
