About Trestel
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (350°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (170°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 5–19 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.5 km out (1 in 154). 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 17°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Trévou-Tréguignec, 0.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
