About Aber wrac'h point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (336°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (156°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–16 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 65). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 11°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 16°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually April, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Landeda, 1.3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots and 2 kayak spots.
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
