Technical details of Primel-Trégastel Beach - Plougasnou spot

The spot works with winds from N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, NNW.

Depending on conditions: NW.

RideableDepending on conditions Not rideable

Local association recommendations

No permanent kite club on site. Supervised swimming (nageurs-sauveteurs) in summer — coordinate with them for navigation authorisation. Info: onekite.com/topic/15771 (summer 2024 field report).

Spot opening date · Required level

Spot opening date: Open all year round
Navigation regulated in summer with lifeguard presence — possible before 12:00 or after 18:00. Out of season: no restrictions. Left-side channel can be negotiated as entry/exit zone with lifeguards.
Required level: Intermediate

Parking

Small car park east of beach (5-6 spaces) or larger "Parking de la Manche" behind the lifeguard post (100m walk).

Wind specificities

Ideal wind: N and NNW (side). The N-E quadrant also works well — allows parallel runs along the beach. Summer wind naturally stronger at the exit of the Primel cove. Wind shadow possible in the back of the cove — better conditions offshore.

Hazards

Rocky cove — rocks on both sides, especially to the north toward Pointe de Primel — do not approach. At low tide: rocks exposed on the flanks of the cove, stay in the central sandy channel. In summer: regulations apply — check with lifeguards on the day. Channel on the left side can serve as entry/exit — negotiate with lifeguards.
