About
Pont Blondin is an exposed surf spot near Mohammedia with a mix of beach and point break that produces lefts and rights. The break is described as fairly consistent overall, with conditions typically best during the colder season when more powerful swells arrive. The spot is known for winter surfing, with the most useful swell direction reported as northwest (and west) and good results when winds are aligned—offshore east winds are generally favored. Some shelter from northwest winds is reported by local headland effects, but the spot remains overall exposed. On the water, hazards are a key factor: rocks and sea urchins are prominent near the point section, and rip currents can occur, particularly when swells are larger. Because of this, boots are strongly recommended, and entering/approaching the point is best done with enough water over the rocks (mid-tide is commonly suggested for the point approach). Crowding varies with season and wave quality. Sources note it can get quite busy when conditions line up, and it’s generally reported to be very crowded in summer compared with better surf months in autumn and winter.
