The next 7 days. Each day's wave height, green on a good day for intermediate surfers. A spot that does not suit them is tagged with the level it suits and never goes green for them. The best of the spots that stay in Pornichet each day wears a ★ Best badge, only on a Good day. 1 spot stays in another town: within your drive, it counts for Pornichet too.
