Ferme aux Cochons, or Pig Farm, is a surf spot known for its beach breaks and varying wave conditions. Located in a picturesque setting, this spot can attract a crowd, especially when the surf is pumping. It generally picks up good waves when the conditions line up just right, so it’s essential to keep an eye on the forecast.

This spot works best with south and southwest swell directions. It can handle swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 m) and offers both left and right waves. The waves break over sand, making it a bit more forgiving for those who might wipe out. For the best experience, aim for a low to mid tide, but it can also be fun at high tide. Just keep in mind that the beach break can get pretty fast and is not ideal if there’s any wind, especially with a south-east wind coming in.

Surfers often talk about how Ferme aux Cochons can hold some of the bigger surf in the area, but you really need the right conditions to make the most of it. So, check the wind and tide before heading out to ensure you get the best waves possible.
