Lac de Bret kitesurf spot
Switzerland · Vaud
Overview
Lac de Bret is a Wingfoil only spot. It works particularly well with the Bise wind, especially when it blows NNE in alignment with the lake. The wind tends to be accelerated with a channeling effect on the central strip of the lake. A bit of swell that increases towards the end of the lake. Spot suitable for beginners and experienced riders, launching is easy and it is possible to rig on grass. There is not much parking space, but there are three areas: the first is a parking lot along the Forel road towards the south of the lake, the second a bit further in the grass next to a large farm, then a few hundred meters away in a small clearing. Be careful to respect the protected and marshy area in the north of the lake and the local fishermen.
