Pointe du Toulinguet
Edit SpotAbout
Needs a big westerly swell to start cranking. Best surfed on a rising low tide. Also the scramble down the cliff can be hazardous. I surfed this place years ago whilst studying in Brest so not sure about crowds now but this is an epic spot when everywhere else, like La Palud is big and blown out, so well worth a visit if you're in the area.
