More about Cap de la Chevre

Cap de la Chèvre is a point break on the southernmost tip of the Crozon peninsula that works year-round with fairly consistent conditions. The break splits into two main peaks: a reef/point wave on the left that requires paddling about 500 meters into open water and begins breaking with swell around 2 meters at low tide; and a shallower right-hand break in front of the cliff itself. Both require east winds and west-southwest swell to work cleanly, with spring, especially March, offering the most reliable conditions.

Access requires scrambling down a steep, slippery path hidden from the top of the cape, with swirling currents nearly guaranteed and the cliff face itself presenting constant hazard. The approach demands significant experience and careful water reading. Beyond the currents and rocks, the remote location and difficult access limit crowds.

I could not find detailed surf history or documented competitions specifically held at Cap de la Chèvre beyond its use as a starting point for foil competitions in recent years.
