It was a Wednesday morning in mid-October and everything was very quiet. In fact, it was almost deserted. Like everywhere outside bigger towns very few bakeries in the area had survived the pressure from the dominating supermarket chains and there was none left in Pentrez, at least none that was open outside the bustling summer months.
The ocean in the bay was very calm too. I checked the long sandy beach and the headland to its southern end. It was flat, to be precise, there were some tiny lines rolling through the calm sea but they were not surf-able. So, I went back to the main road and drove to Crozon, where I got some pain aux chocolats and croissants before I continued to Lost Marc´h, one of my favourite locations on the peninsula.
Small waves were breaking there but the wind came side-shore and the tide was very low so it was not really good. I drove over to Goulien. The waves were small here too but the wind was offshore so I grabbed my longboard and paddled out. The session was far from being remarkable but it was good to be out surfing again. As I was just recovering from knee problems it was also o.k. to start in slow conditions.
In the late afternoon, I returned to Lost Marc´h. With the higher tide the waves had become much better despite the wind still messing it up a bit. Mother nature added a dramatic light show to brighten the scenery but all in all the bay failed my expectations and did not even get close to what I had witnessed here before (check this story to see what I mean).
