Plage de Bray-Dunes

Plage de Bray-Dunes is a surf break, usually breaking in the 0.5–2.5m range, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.

Different days call for different boards. Plage de Bray-Dunes can get sizeable, so a shortboard comes into its own on bigger days, while a longboard still works when it drops small. Tap through the boards above to see the live score for whatever you'll be riding.

Look for 0.5–2.5m of swell from the N / W / NW with light offshore winds from the NE / E / SE. The 5-day forecast above scores every hour, so you can spot the window at a glance.
