Finistère Sud in the guides

• Surfing in March
  Spring is the season at La Torche, according to The Surf Atlas, and the nearby Crozon peninsula has a wild beach that picks up swell from north-west to south-west.
• Surfing in April
  La Torche's best season, with spring south-westerly groundswells and fewer people than in summer.
• Surfing in September
  Autumn brings Brittany's warmest water of the year and smaller crowds than summer. La Torche and the Baie d'Audierne pick up almost every swell.
• Surfing in October
  La Torche picks up almost every swell and has the warmest water of its year. Aim for the early session before the wind gets up.
• Uncrowded winter waves
  Winter brings the best swells of the year, but the famous spots get crowded whenever they break. These are quieter beaches and breaks across Europe: Scotland's north coast and islands, the west of Ireland, Portugal's Alentejo, the Azores, Norway and Denmark, plus empty corners of Normandy, the Médoc and north Spain.
