Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Lannacombe faces. Arrows show where the swell and wind are heading. Tide is the height at Start Point above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Wednesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Lannacombe faces south-west. Swell inside the lit window reaches the beach; anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

9 Apr 2005 · Simon Plymouth Lanacombe is about as secret as weapons of mass destruction, and any how its not that good a wave any way, oh and as for that locals rule c**p you can shove it up your f*c*in a**e you big k**b.
26 Mar 2005 · Lannacombe local what F*c*in idiot put this on here? This is a secret spot watch out for the locals!
23 Mar 2005 · John Budden Spent many great days at Lannacombe as a child. Theres a second beach too if youre prepared for a ten minute walk past the house. Parking can be a bit interesting but a toot on the horn and people will come and let you out. Coastline regularly changes and new coves appear from year to year.
