About this spot

About

Port Goret (Treveneuc) is a sheltered sandy beach break in Brittany’s Côte d’Armor, known for providing both left and right waves but with often inconsistent surf. On calm/seasonal days it can be flat, so results depend heavily on swell size and tide. When conditions line up, the spot works best around low to mid tide, with a working swell beginning around 1.5–2 meters. The break is generally described as having good quality waves, with a moderate wave power profile; ride length is commonly in the 50–150 meter range on better days. Wind exposure is typically mitigated by the cliffs around the bay, and winds from the south/south-east are described as grooming the waves, while offshore flow from the southwest is noted as producing better conditions. Wind reliability is described as low overall, and there can be gustiness. Safety-wise, the beach has been reported as closed due to weather damage that weakened the cliff and compromised the stair anchor. The spot also has rocks near the shoreline and submerged rocks near the cliff edges, and local culture is noted—so respect the lineup. For wetsuits, a spring setup (ideally with a neoprene hood, gloves, and boots in January) is recommended; colder months typically call for thicker suits.
