Longchamps
Edit SpotAbout
Subtle differences in tide, wind and swell direction make a better session either there or at the garde guerin, 5 mn drive away. I like to check both a bit before the tide is high enough.
Atmosphere:
Cool locals. In summer stay off the sailboat access channel. Beware of agressive seagulls.
Additional Info:
Like all spots that deep in the mont St Michel bay, a rising spring tide is a must for swells to come in. Don't count on any long periods. Long here means 10 secs. Short is a few hours before to a few hours after a storm. Dont be afraid of onshores....
