Porsmilin surf guide

Porsmilin is a surf spot located at l’Anse de Bertheaume. This area features a left-hand reef break and pretty defined peaks, making it a popular choice among surfers. While the spot offers some good waves, it can get crowded, especially when the bigger swells roll in. The parking situation is pretty easy, but be prepared to share the waves with others.

The surf here typically handles swell sizes starting from around 2ft (0.6m) and can work with both south and west swell directions. The waves break over an uneven reef as well as some sandy areas. The best conditions usually occur during mid to high tide and with north winds, making it a decent spot for intermediate surfers. Just keep in mind that the take-off zones can be a bit narrow, which adds to the competition in the water.

Besides the surf, you'll want to watch out for rips and patches of rock, so it's good to be aware of your surroundings while you're out there. Overall, Porsmilin offers a unique surfing experience, but with a few challenges that keep it interesting.
