Local association recommendations

Emeraude Kite (emeraudekite.com) — reference association, organises the annual "Fête de la Glisse" at Saint-Lunaire every September.

Spot functioning

Works NW or NE only. With a N wind, wind is onshore and waves limit upwind performance. Best: off-season (spring, autumn) to avoid summer restrictions. At low tide: more space and rocker rocks visible. Paillote (beach bar) at the centre of the breakwater available spring and autumn.

Wind specificities

Works only NW or NE. N wind is onshore — waves limit upwind. Wave spot when NW or NE swell coincides with matching wind. Seawall disrupts wind at high tide. Rock in mid-spot visible only at low tide.

Hazards

Limited practice area. Rock in the middle of the spot exposed at low tide — danger at mid-tide. At high tide: seawall can disrupt wind. Crowded when conditions are good: surfers and windsurfers on a restricted space. Summer restrictions (specific hours): check emeraudekite.com before heading out.
