About Porz Naye

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

The spot faces NW (293°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (113°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 26). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 16°C in July, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Camaret-sur-Mer, 1.3 km away (5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 1 climbing area.

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