I live on the island of brehat, right in front of this unsurfed spot. I've only been able to go there twice on small days but i have seen some amazing waves. Maybe 2 or 2.5 meters, clean and hollow. You are in the middle of nowhere and this is not a spot you should go alone.
You have two main spot. When you are on the beach:left side of the beach: paddle 500 m on your left in the open ocean. You will find a scary wave (right and left). It starts working with a decent 2 m swell at low tide.Right side: on the right side of the beach, you will find a HUGE wave (rights are longer) in front of the cliff. Take a gun.Those waves are dangerous, so don't come alone, be in a good shape. As you are under big cliffs, the atmosphere is very distressing.
Best to not surf alone here (even if it's not the first time), because the rivermouth can build HEAVY currents that will send you offshore with no hope of paddling against...maybe you end up in Great Britain...Especially if it rained a lot inland the days before, which happens frequently.
All information with http://www.wissant.comThis is indeed more a windsurfspot. There is often a lot of current on this spot. Especially when the wind blows hard.

Nice spot, with a wide beach, never ever crowded. Conditions are best at an hour or two before and after hight tide.The best thing is that there is a camping AT the beach. Get up early and catch the first waves!The camping is really cheap, 7 euro a night for two adults and a car. Next to the camping there's a parking.
Its a good spot for those who want to start and/or improve their surfing because you don't often get big swells or strong currents here. You can get excellents conditions, glassy, powerful with good shape waves. However, when it does get big you'll need to be fit and know what you're doing - it is no longer a good beginners spot when the swell is big!
