Le Veryac'h

Le Veryac’h is a surf spot located in Brittany, France. This surf spot is characterized by its a-frame waves that break over a sandy bottom. The waves are most suitable for surfers of all levels, but it is important to check the difficulty of the spot before entering the water to ensure that one’s skills match the conditions. The spot typically works best during the winter months when big swells are present, as it is protected by the Pen Hir point, which helps to create clean surf conditions. The waves usually reach heights of around 2 meters and are best surfed during low to medium tides. It is advisable to arrive after a big gale has passed, as this can lead to favorable conditions with offshore north winds and the potential for small tubes. Surfers should be cautious of the occasional clean-up sets that can occur, as well as the rocks on both sides of the cove at low tide. The spot is relatively empty, making it a good choice for those looking to avoid crowded surf conditions. The area is located halfway between the cities of Brest and Quimper, and accessing the spot involves following the main road (D8) towards Camaret city, then taking a small road down to the beach. There is parking available in the first lot in front of the sea. Additionally, access by boat is possible, but caution is advised due to strong currents and waves around the Pen Hir point. The surrounding landscape features the impressive Pen Hir cliffs, which rise about 50 meters above the surf, creating a striking backdrop for surfers. The water is generally clear blue, contributing to the scenic beauty of the area. For those considering what type of surfboard to bring, a longboard may be a suitable choice given the conditions. Respect the locals. It is also important to check surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots.
