Overview

Bréhec (Plouézec) is a small sheltered cove on the Côte du Goëlo, between Paimpol and Saint-Quay-Portrieux. Exposed to W-NE swell and wind, it offers good wave conditions when the Atlantic swell enters. Works O to NE according to local associations. A well-known fallback spot in the sector, managed under Emeraude Kite's remit. Relatively narrow — space management is essential, especially in summer.

Wind specificities

Works W to NE. Emeraude Kite: NW wind at high tide only (2h before and after high water — unique window). W-NW best for swell and waves. NE-E for flat water/side wind. Rocks on both sides — wind can be disrupted by the cove geometry. Prefer mid to low tide for more regular conditions.

Hazards

Relatively narrow beach — cohabitation with surfers, windsurfers and swimmers requires careful space management. Rocky areas on both flanks — stay in the central sandy zone. NW wind at high tide: unique window (2h before and after high water) but narrow space. Check local rules.
