La Passe aux Moutons kitesurf spot
France · Bretagne
Overview
La Passe aux Moutons is a kitesurf spot on the north Finistère coast (Brittany), in the Aber Wrac'h / Lannilis area. The "sheep crossing" is a tidal channel that creates flat, sheltered water on the inner side when wind conditions are right.
The spot works best with South to South-West winds. Strongly tide-dependent — access and riding conditions vary significantly with the tide.
