Question 1

Can you surf at Brignogan-Plages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pontusval (NW/W) and Zorn beaches receive Atlantic swell. Waves 0.3–1.2 m, sandy bottom between granite boulders. Beginner to intermediate level. No surf school on site — the atmosphere is unspoiled and uncrowded. Watch for rocks between the beaches.

Question 2

Is kitesurfing or windsurfing possible at Brignogan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with NW/W wind at 12–25 knots. The Brignogan area is less frequented than Douarnenez Bay or Saint-Pabu. Practice space is limited by the rocky boulders — scout the area before launching. Intermediate level required.

Question 3

Is stand-up paddle suited to Brignogan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in calm conditions. Paddling among the white granite boulders, access to islets and wild beaches. Water 10–17°C. SUP rental in summer. Not recommended in strong wind due to local currents and exposed rocks.
