Wind specificities

Works mainly E and N/NW — NE-facing beach. WINDSURFBREIZH22: "works especially E and N/NW… wind sometimes enters in corridors due to coastal relief". Waves somewhat disorganised at the shore — go further out for jumping. Good fallback spot for the Saint-Brieuc sector in E wind.

Hazards

Wind can enter in corridors due to coastal relief — gusty and irregular in certain directions. Waves somewhat disorganised close to shore — better to head offshore for cleaner conditions. Swimmers and families in summer. Animals forbidden July 1 – August 31 (10:00–19:00). Check local bylaws for kite navigation zones.
