Character

01

Plage de Porz ar Villiec is defined by north-coast 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

02

NW–W swell, s–se 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.

03

Match the active peak to your ability and leave space for other surfers in the water. Pay particular attention to tidal current, rock margins, strong wind. Local signs and advice always take priority.
