Pors Poulhan

Pors Poulhan is a surf spot located in Brittany, France. This spot is characterized by its a-frame wave direction and features a mixed bottom of sand and rocks. It is important to note that Pors Poulhan is an unknown wave that rarely breaks, making it a less frequented surf location. The surf experience required here is classified as intermediate, as the spot can present challenges, especially during larger swells. The wave length is less than 50 meters, and the surf quality is considered normal. The spot is typically empty, providing surfers with the opportunity to enjoy a less crowded environment. Surfers can access the spot by paddling through the harbor or jumping from the jetty, but caution is advised when conditions are rough. When the swell exceeds 2.5 meters, the spot can become dangerous due to the presence of a rip current in front of the harbor, which complicates returning to safety. Rocks are present all around the area, and there have been incidents of surfers colliding with them, highlighting the need for careful navigation. At a swell height of around 2 meters, the right-hand wave can be particularly favorable. It is advisable to check the surf forecast and report before heading out to ensure the conditions are suitable for your skill level.
