France · Bretagne

Spot currently openIntermediate levelAltitude 3 m 47.5 | -2.68

Overview

Pointe de la Grée - Penvins is a FFVL-approved kitesurf spot on the Rhuys peninsula (Morbihan, Brittany), facing the Vilaine estuary. This headland spot works best at low tide, with sector East to South winds blowing onshore.

Conditions are ideal at low tide — avoid the last 2 hours of the rising tide due to shore break. The spot is tide-dependent with significant tidal range typical of the Morbihan coast.
