Pors Poulhan (Plouhinec)

Pors Poulhan (Plouhinec) is an exposed beach-and-reef surf break at the entrance of a small harbor. It’s known for a powerful, sometimes hollow right-hand wave, with a shorter left also possible. The spot is technical due to its rocky/reef bottom and its immediate proximity to harbor structures, so it’s best treated as an experienced-surfer spot. Conditions are described as working intermittently (“only once in a while” / “sometimes break”). When it is on, it starts around roughly 1.0–1.5 m and can hold up to about 2 m+ (with up to ~2.5 m reported by one provider). Wave quality is generally reported as good, with hollow wave shape and a medium peel speed. Wind-wise, north winds are the key factor: offshore from the north (and also north–north-east offshore) is preferred because it helps groom the wave face. May is the best month cited by multiple sources, including clean conditions and favorable wind direction statistics, but one provider also frames the broader seasonality around winter/autumn swell consistency (with late spring for cleaner conditions). Tide guidance is consistent: it’s best at low and mid tide, and it also works on a rising tide (mid tide is also cited as favorable). Safety-wise, prioritize harbor-related precautions—yield to harbor traffic and avoid surfing in the boat channel—then manage the rock/reef hazards especially during entry and exit at low tide. The spot is generally reported as relatively empty even on good days.
