Wind specificities

West-southwest exposure to open sea. The beach is sheltered from south winds by the land. Favourable arc: NW/W/SW. NW can be disrupted by Île de Sieck to the left of the spot (similar to Dossen). West swell reaches the beach well. Waves possible in good swell. Seaweed accumulations after storms.

Hazards

Roch Tréas rock visible to the left of the beach — hazard for swimmers and riders. Marked zones mandatory in summer — respect kite/surf zones. Seaweed after storms (kite relaunch risk). Large tidal range: beach width varies significantly with tide. Never ride alone.
