Bretignolles-sur-Mer

Bretignolles-sur-Mer is a WSW-facing beach break in Pays de la Loire, France. It picks up swell from WSW to WNW and WNW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 75% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
