Surfing Plozevet
A beach break in Pointe du Raz & South, France, for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Plozévet is a beach break on the Bay of Audierne, between the Pointe du Raz and La Torche. When the sandbanks are good, some local surfers rate it among the best waves on this part of the Breton coast.
It gets much less attention than La Torche. It's best on a clean swell with a light offshore wind, and worth checking if you're driving along this coast.
It works best on a clean west swell with an easterly wind, usually in autumn and spring. The beach is open and quiet, with a car park and little else, so bring what you need. La Torche is about twenty minutes south.
