French River surf guide

French River is a surf spot known for its easier waves, making it a good choice for beginners. Located at a coastal area with a unique setup, it features a blend of reef and shore breaks over a cobblestone bottom. The ambiance is pretty chill, and it's a place where you can catch some fun waves without too much hassle.

The waves here mainly break over boulders and are suitable when the swell comes from the NorthEast or East. You can handle swell sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). French River has both left and right-breaking waves, which is nice if you're looking to practice your turns. The best conditions happen when the wind is coming from the SouthWest, and you can surf during low, mid, or high tides, which gives you some flexibility in planning your session.

Since the spot is beginner-friendly, it’s a great place to work on your skills. However, don't expect super high consistency in the waves, so it might require some patience to find the right day. Overall, if you're looking to practice or just enjoy some fun, easy waves, French River could be worth checking out.
