Overview

Île-Tudy is a kitesurf spot on the small peninsula of Île-Tudy (Finistère, Brittany), between Loctudy and Pont-l'Abbé. The spot faces the Odet estuary and the open sea to the south-west, catching winds from North-West to South-West.

The narrow peninsula creates interesting wind acceleration effects. Relatively sheltered from Atlantic swell due to the offshore islands. A pleasant spot with a charming village atmosphere.
