Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Brutal Beach works well with southwest, west, and northwest winds, offering particularly interesting side-shore to side-on conditions. The spot is also active with east winds, although conditions are less optimal. The gravel beach with a sandy bottom allows for easy and secure water entry for launching.
The shorebreak can be a real challenge, especially on the farthest part of the beach, and requires good technical mastery. The waves generated by wind conditions can be tricky for less experienced riders. The navigation area extends along the entire length of the beach, separated by jetties that create distinct coves. It is recommended to check the wind forecasts on Windguru before each session to anticipate conditions.
The high attendance at the spot, especially in summer, requires constant vigilance to avoid collisions with other riders and swimmers. Nearby parking fills up quickly in high season, so it is advisable to arrive early to find a spot.
