Character
01Plage de Longchamp is defined by north-facing left + right beach peaks over sand with rock margins. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02N–NW swell, s–sw offshore and moving mid tide · exposure dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.5–2.1 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to tidal current, rock margins, strong wind. Local signs and advice always take priority.
