Additional Information
Like all spots that deep in the mont St Michel bay, a rising spring tide is a must for swells to come in. Don't count on any long periods. Long here means 10 secs. Short is a few hours before to a few hours after a storm. Dont be afraid of onshores....
Atmosphere
Cool locals. In summer stay off the sailboat access channel. Beware of agressive seagulls.
General
Subtle differences in tide, wind and swell direction make a better session either there or at the garde guerin, 5 mn drive away. I like to check both a bit before the tide is high enough.

- maybe it's a poor spot but in St malo and around we have not a lot of waves and Longchamp can be a good spot when there isn't wave anywhere !

Irregular - Like everying else in Bretagne the best sits next to the worst. One day the waves are awersome (9ft-3m) then the next nothing (1ft...). The waether can be great and nice one day, then the next it is realy crappy. Bretagne is definitely known for lack of consistency.
