Mesperleuc'h

Mesperleuc'h is a small beach break located on the northwestern coast of Brittany, France, facing northwest toward the Atlantic. The spot features a sandy beach with scattered rocky formations both onshore and in shallow waters. The relatively protected setting with residential development inland provides some wind shelter. Average waves of 1.27m indicate modest swell exposure, suitable for progression rather than powerful conditions. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds (45°) that approach side-shore to the beach orientation. The low wind reliability of 33% means sessions depend heavily on seasonal patterns and weather systems. Water temperatures average 13.2°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates seeking manageable conditions with smaller waves and protected fetch. Key considerations include navigating around rocky hazards in shallow water, checking tide state due to variable near-shore bathymetry, and respecting residential boundaries. The spot works best during Atlantic storm systems that generate consistent offshore flow.
