Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys

Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys is an SW-facing beach break in Brittany, France. It picks up swell from WSW to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 95% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NE: light winds or NE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SW onshores chop it up.
