Préfailles surf guide

Préfailles is a surf spot located about an hour from Nantes. It's in the vicinity of Pointe St-Gildas and has a few hidden reefs nearby that are worth exploring. The area is known for its tidal variations, meaning that surfers should check the timing for the best conditions. While it’s generally not too crowded, you might still encounter some fellow surfers out on the waves.

This spot works mainly with swell from the SouthWest and NorthWest, and it handles swell sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters). The waves break over uneven reef and can go both left and right, giving you some options to choose from. The best conditions happen at mid tide, especially with favorable winds from the north. It's a good spot for intermediate surfers; the waves can get a bit sucky and walled up, so being comfortable on a board is essential.

If you're looking to explore a bit, keep in mind that the reef of La Couronnée, situated between Préfailles and Noirmoutier, can only be surfed by boat. So, if you’re keen on checking that out, plan accordingly. Also, a good pair of binoculars can enhance your overall experience, especially for spotting conditions from a distance.
