Plage du Loch is an interesting surf spot located near Guidel. It's known for being one of the more consistent places in the area, making it popular among surfers looking for reliable waves. The beach offers a mix of sand and some rocky patches that add to the texture of the surf. Surfers can enjoy the scene from low to mid tide, which is when the waves are the most enjoyable for riding.
The surf here works best with a southwest swell and can handle sizes around 1ft (0.3m) to larger. You can catch both left and right waves, which are mostly beach breaks. Although it’s not the hollowest spot out there, it provides nice, slashable walls that are perfect for intermediate surfers. If the wind's coming from the northeast, conditions tend to improve, so keep that in mind when planning your surf sessions.
Besides the waves, Plage du Loch has plenty to keep surfers occupied. It’s close to other beaches like Fort Bloqué, which is better for beginners and longboards, and Les Moules or Maeva for those looking for some high tide reef action. So whether you’re just starting out or more experienced, there’s something for everyone around here.
