Current at Flauwers moves fast and the shore entry involves a surf or shore break, so enter on slack water and scout the entry point before gearing up. Showers and parking are available on site, which makes a cold post-dive change considerably more bearable.
Entering the water via the slippery rocks can be risky. There is a walk to the groyne.
