SURFING STAY - CROZON - MORGAT - CAMARET - BRITTANY
Magnet Surf School invites you to call on several professionals from the peninsula to plan the tailor-made stay that will best suit you.
If you don't know Brittany, you absolutely have to come and visit our beautiful region.
On the Crozon peninsula the weather is always nice! Between two showers... I guarantee you a ray of sunshine per day. On the peninsula, the wind sweeps away the bad weather and the swell hits the coastline. There are always waves here!
The fishing port of Morgat is a must-see in the Breton landscape. As surprising as it seems, the water here is turquoise blue. The landscapes, each as varied as the next, will disorient you. You will find a piece of Scotland, Corsica and the Brocéliande Forest grouped together in one place. Lulled by the rhythm of the seasons, you will discover a preserved natural environment. At the western end of the Armorique Regional Park, you will be struck by the beauty of the landscapes with their very particular geology. The peninsula is a land of history and legends. You will visit sites of menhir alignments and if you listen carefully you will hear legends that span the ages.
The GR 34 trails will help you discover the most beautiful hikes in Europe. Between Morgat and Cap de la Chèvre you will appreciate a coast with an atypical landscape crossed by a path worthy of mountain hikes. The west coast, more exposed to winter storms, is obviously beautiful. It is dotted with the best Breton spots: sand, rock and crystal clear water are the ingredients for surf sessions that you will not soon forget.
The coast, very indented, will allow you to always find a place sheltered from the wind! The woods, the moors and the dune areas will awaken in you a little scent of discovery and adventure. You can stop off at small typical restaurants and local bistros in Camaret as well as in Roscanvel or Lanvéoc. You can't come to Brittany without eating a good crepe accompanied by a bowl of cider!
And if you are curious, there is so much to discover in the surrounding villages: Telgruc, Camaret, Roscanvel, Crozon, Landévennec…
Guillaume will be there to guide you on your expeditions to discover regional dishes, rich Breton culture and the waves.
Surfing on the Crozon peninsula
Surfing on the Crozon peninsula is a unique experience. You will appreciate the charm of small coastal villages and a wild and protected environment. In the heart of the Armorique Natural Park, you may have the chance to surf with dolphins or seals. If you are passionate about ornithology, you will find what you are looking for here. You can also take a Stand Up Paddle ride and visit the Morgat sea caves. They number around two hundred and fifty and can reach a hundred meters deep. A curiosity not to be missed!
After the surf session, it is pleasant to stroll through small villages like Landévennec, Camaret, Crozon and Morgat. You will no doubt meet people around a Coreff at the Relai des Pêcheurs. Restaurants await you on the promenade. On the program: seafood, traditional cuisine and sausage pancakes!
If you are looking for an original destination and an exotic stay, the Crozon peninsula will suit you perfectly. The peninsula has all the characteristics of an island. The peninsulas with strong character will take their time to listen to you and help you discover their cultural heritage. This warm atmosphere is specific to Brittany. You will be able to see the difference with other tourist regions in France. Fewer crowds, varied and original activities will make your vacation the first in a long series.
Surf lessons in Crozon - Morgat - Camaret
Surf lessons meet at the magnet surf office in Crozon. You will have time to introduce yourself over coffee and discuss what you expect from your surf lessons. After a brief analysis of the day's weather, Guillaume will take you to one of the spots that he deems best suited to your level.
The surf session lasts three hours, transport included. All levels are accepted in surf lessons. Groups will be formed according to your expectations and abilities.
In the beach parking lot, Guillaume will provide you with all the equipment you need. Sooruz suits from the Blue Line line are suitable for school use. They are easy to put on and made from recycled neoprene. The Ocean and Earth and Hurricane foam boards will allow you to progress without hurting yourself! Once dressed, you will access the beach via the paths crossing typical villages and dune areas.
You will then start with a warm-up (yoga, games, bodysurfing, etc.). As for surfing, don't be worried! If you are beginner surfers you will stay in the foam in order to integrate the basics of the take-off in complete safety. For experts in the discipline, you will face the elements under the watchful eye of your instructor. You will be in the water between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes depending on the access time to the beach and the weather conditions. The goal is not to turn yourself into an ice cube or to exhaust yourself during the first session.

SURF SPOTS
Brittany, a land of surfing
The Breton coastline…
All along the coasts, over some 2700 kilometers jagged with cliffs and rocks. The Breton coastline offers a unique playground in Europe. Due to its extension into the Atlantic Ocean, its location makes it possible to capture a maximum of swell orientations. Depending on the weather conditions, it is always possible to find a good session. Several surf zones characterize Breton surfing. You probably know the most famous surf spots like La Torche, the Quiberon peninsula, Audierne bay, the Crozon peninsula, the Locquirec beaches...
All of these places have one thing in common: a variety of spot configurations. A Breton surfer has a seamanship developed by the specificities of his practice environment and the disciplines attached to this nautical territory. It is common to share surf sessions with windsurfers and kite surfers.
The advantage of these configurations is to offer beaches suitable for beginners close to surf spots for more experienced surfers.
Here when we start, we are led more quickly towards autonomy. The gently sloping sandy beaches allow learning in stages and without risk. We are far from the violence of the southwest waves which require technical background and high physical commitment. Good surfers will be delighted by the variety of reefbreaks and beachbreaks. They will find what they are looking for there regardless of their style of practice (longboard, shortboard, standup paddle, bodyboard, waveski, etc.).
Remember that these places are protected natural sites and that it is important to respect the access trails. You will surf in surf spots far from access, so you must remain humble in your practice. Observing and gathering information at the water's edge will help you avoid stupid accidents.
With a strong surfing identity, Brittany is ideal for starting or improving.
The surf spots of Crozon Morgat
A surf experience on the most beautiful surf spots in Europe.
In addition to having quality waves, the orientation of the beaches as well as the geology of the peninsula always allow you to choose a session adapted to the wind and wave conditions. Located in a natural and protected setting (Armorique Regional Park, Iroise Marine Park), enjoying these wide open spaces is a unique experience. Far from the busy beaches of the south of France, Brittany offers a quality stay without experiencing excessive tourist influxes.
The traveling Magnet Surf School takes you to the spots of La Palue, Goulien, Kersiguénou, Kerloch’...
Surf lessons at La Palue
Place renowned for its translucent blue waves. Five minutes from the port of Morgat, there are always waves rolling there. From a listed village, the very authentic access will transport you to the very special atmosphere of Cap de la Chèvre. Using the dunes as an observatory allows you to choose the best sandbank on the beach. This very wild beach-break (sandy beach) will surprise you in any season. The panoramic view extends from Pointe du Raz to Pointe de Saint Mathieu via the Tas de Pois at Pointe de Pen Hir. However, you must remain attentive when surfing. It is possible to encounter strong currents caused by Baïnes. This is the surf spot on the Crozon peninsula reserved for seasoned surfers and beginners when the waves are small.
Surf lessons in Kersiguénou and Goulien.
More sheltered than Palue beach, Kersiguénou and Goulien are ideal for beginners as well as experienced surfers. Long waves break gently on the sand in an idyllic setting. Enough to work on the “hang-five” for the most experienced.
Beneath its appearance as a beginner's surf spot, it is a beach that can hide dangers. There is no Baïne, but there are high tide currents, rocks and cliffs.
Surf lessons in Kerloch’.
Kerloch’ beach is sheltered from northerly winds and big swells. When all the other surf spots are saturated due to harsh conditions, this surf spot is ideal at low tide for novice surfers as well as experienced surfers. At the foot of impressive cliffs, the waves are gentle and suitable for surfing large boards such as longboards, Mini-Malibu, Mid-Lenght and retro-fish.
