About Lile Tudy

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces SE (127°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (307°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 9.1 km out (1 in 909). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Île-Tudy, 0.3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 2 wind sports spots.

Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
