Pors-Ar-Villec, often just called 'Porza', is a surf spot located in the laid-back area of Locquirec. This beach is known for its beautiful scenery and relatively relaxed vibe, but it does get quite crowded, especially on good days. It's popular among surfers looking for sessions with a bit of variety, thanks to its unique features.
When the NorthWest swell rolls in, Pors-Ar-Villec can deliver fun and fast waves, breaking over a mix of uneven reef and sand. Surfers can expect mostly beach breaks, with both left and right waves available. The spot handles swell sizes starting from 1 ft (0.3 m), making it accessible for intermediate surfers. Conditions are usually best during mid to high tide, especially with a favorable SouthWest wind. Keep in mind that while it can offer hollow waves with the right swell, it can also turn into a slower ride on smaller days.
For those looking to explore the area beyond Porza, heading west will lead you to Sables Blancs, which features some solid shore breaks. It also has a sucky outside reef that offers rights during low tide on big swells. The nearby bays of Moulin de la Rive and Poul Rodou provide good shelter from SW winds, making them appealing options when conditions at Porza aren’t ideal.
