About Binic Harbourg
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (70°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (250°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 12). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 9°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 19°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Binic, 0.3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 1 mountain bike area.
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
