La Côte Sauvage surf guide

La Côte Sauvage is a popular surf destination located in Brittany, known for a variety of surf spots scattered along a 2km stretch of coastline. This area features some hollow and powerful waves, making it appealing to surfers looking for a bit of challenge. The first bay, Port-Blanc, tends to get the busiest due to its easier access and some natural wind shelter provided by nearby cliffs. The overall vibe here can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends, but there are enough spots to spread out.

The surf here is best when the swell is coming from the West or SouthWest, handling sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters). When conditions align with a WSW swell and an East wind, you can expect some solid waves. The breaks vary with some occurring over uneven reefs and others over sand, producing both left and right waves. Port-Marie is known for its far-offshore breaks, while Port-Rhu offers a more localized peak. If you're an intermediate surfer, this place has plenty to keep you engaged, but keep an eye on the tides. Low to mid tide is usually preferable for the best breaks, and it's wise to exit before high tide due to some rock formations that can affect your surf session.

Besides just surfing, the environment can handle some hefty sizes and rips when conditions get rough, so it's a good idea to stay aware of your surroundings. It's worth noting that this area can get busy, particularly on weekends, which can impact the overall surf experience. So, plan your trips accordingly if you’re looking to avoid the crowds.

Readme

Welcome! If you’re new to surf forecasting, check out this quick guide.

Forecast Table

The forecast table (the section on the page with all the numbers) is designed to pack as much information in the screen as possible. Although intimidating at first, it will help you make informed decisions about the waves faster, trust me :D. The table consists of roughly four sections, time and predictions, wind, waves, and tides:

🔮 Time and predictions section

Here we show the forecast thour and the overall surf quality prediction. This is determined based on the wave, wind and tide quality prediction. These individual predictions can be found on the forecast map.

💨 Wind section

The first row on the table (with the 💨 icon) shows wind speed, direction and gust. The more the wind speed the more aggressive the color (from blue, green, orange to red).

🌊 Wave section

The waves section consists of three rows, one for wave height and direction, one for period and one for wave energy. Our algorithm choices the "dominant wave". This is normally the first swell partition, but with heavy local storms it displays the wind waves. If that's the case, we display the numbers in italic and in gray.

🌒 Tide section

The tide section consists of a row with the actual heights per hour (measured at the half hour) and a table that displays the flow of the tide and the extremes (lows and highs).

Forecast map

The forecast map consists of arrows. These arrows represent all wave partitions (swell partitions and wind wave partition) and the wind. This allows you to see things like: a secondary swell or wind waves messes up the surf, or the wind is just a tick offshore so very surfable. Click a metric label in the bottom left to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"

Confidence

Confidence tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High confidence: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium confidence: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low confidence: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate the wind confidence by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. For wave certainty we compare height, period and direction, also on multiple models. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.
