La Mare

La Mare is a surf spot located in Channel Islands, United Kingdom. It features an A-frame wave direction and has a sandy and rocky bottom. The spot is known for its high tide quality and is classified as a regional classic surf location. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. La Mare sometimes breaks and has a few surfers in the water, contributing to a less crowded experience. The main peak is in front of La Mare lighthouse, with additional peaks available down to Brocken’s house on favorable days. Lefts and rights come off the jetty, and the area in front of the Whites’ place to the north works better earlier in the tide. The local surfing community is characterized by a relaxed atmosphere, but awareness of localism is advised. Respect for local fishermen and other surfers is essential to maintain harmony in the area. It is recommended to assess your skill level against the difficulty of the waves before entering the water. Additionally, checking surf etiquette is important, especially in crowded spots. The surf spot is near other locations such as Castles, St Brelade, El Tico, Petit Port, and Watersplash. The local crew has a unique style, with various board types seen in the water, including short fat wide boards. The surf spot’s characteristics include rips and undertows, which should be taken into consideration when surfing. Surf forecasts, reports, maps, and webcams are useful tools for planning your visit. Respect the locals.
