Gohaud surf guide

Gohaud is a small surf spot located in a tiny bay near Tharon Plage. It’s a great place for beginners looking to catch some easy waves while enjoying a nice environment. The sandy beach makes it inviting, though the surf isn't always top-notch. It’s important to check the conditions since you might find better spots nearby if you’re after quality waves.

The waves at Gohaud are best for beginners, handling swell sizes around 1ft (about 0.3 meters). The optimal swell direction is from the west, but you can also get decent waves from the southwest and northwest. The waves here generally break over sand, which is great for those just starting out. You can catch waves that break left or right, depending on the swell. For the best conditions, aim for low to mid tide, and you’ll want a north wind to keep things nice.

The environment around Gohaud is pretty unique, with fishing platforms on stilts known as pecheries. They add an interesting backdrop to your surf session. So, while the waves might not be world-class, the scenery makes it a decent spot to hang out and ride some small waves.
