Kerloch (Camaret-sur-Mer)

Kerloc'h (Kerloch) is a sandy, exposed beach/point-break on the Crozon Peninsula near Camaret-sur-Mer that’s described as having quite consistent surf. Multiple sources frame it as a mellow, beginner-friendly option with fun waves that peel over sand, commonly producing right-hand waves (and also described as having both lefts and rights depending on conditions). Wave quality is generally described as good, and the spot is often treated as a fallback when more exposed areas on the peninsula are too rough or messy. The surfing window is typically mid tide. For swell, sources give a working threshold around 2.5–3 meters and describe stronger outside swell requirements for the best, more consistent surf. When swell is larger, Kerloc'h is described as filtering energy into more mellow, rideable lines rather than becoming unmanageable. Ride lengths are commonly described as 50 to 150 meters, with good days extending to around 150 to 300 meters. Wind information is less consistent across providers for surfing specifically, but overall conditions are tied to Atlantic weather systems with moderate reliability. Wind shadowing from the northern cliffs is noted for north/northwest directions, which can make conditions variable. Separately, east and southeast winds are described as providing clean offshore conditions, and the spot is also described as sheltered from north winds and large swells. Safety considerations are important: rocks are present at the edges of the bay, and submerged rocks may pose a risk at high tide. Pollution is flagged as a key hazard, particularly after heavy rainfall near the stream outlet; checking local water-quality advisories before paddling is emphasized. Lifeguards are described as seasonal, and rescue availability is noted as not available at the spot level.
