Wind specificities

Very exposed position at the tip of Presqu'île de Penn Enez — wind consistent from N to NW arc, and also E to W. AvelWest mentions sessions "skimming the rocks in Baie du Koréjou" — illustrates the exposed, reef-filled character. 200+ navigable days/year (North Finistère depression winds). Large tidal range affects conditions significantly.

Hazards

Two small beaches either side of the jetty at the tip of Presqu'île de Penn Enez — very exposed position. North Finistère: large tidal range (>8m), strong offshore currents. Goémon common. Rocks and islets abundant in the Plouguerneau archipelago — reconnoitre at low tide. Never ride alone. AvelWest mentions kite sessions "rasant les roches dans la baie du Koréjou" — experienced riders only in this sector.
