Le Phare is a surf spot located near the Pointe du Groin, offering a mix of waves suitable for different levels of surfers. It’s known for its mellow rights and can deliver some nice long rides when the conditions align. The spot is generally better around high tide, as there are rocks that can be a hazard at lower tides. If you're looking for a laid-back place to catch some waves, this spot might just fit the bill.
The best time to surf at Le Phare is with a swell coming from the SouthWest or NorthWest, handling swell sizes from about 0.6 meters (2 ft) and up. The waves break over uneven reef and sand, creating point breaks that can produce long, enjoyable rides. The preferred winds come from the Northeast, and the ideal tide is mid to high. This spot is great for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills and enjoy a fun session.
When it's working, you might find a good crowd, especially with longboarders taking advantage of the softer waves. There is campervan parking available for legal overnight stays, making it a convenient choice for those who want to spend more time in the water. Just keep an eye on the conditions and check the tide before heading out to make the most of your surf day at Le Phare.
