Kitesurf spot at Pointe-aux-Outardes, a long sand point extending into the St. Lawrence estuary near Baie-Comeau. This exceptional site is also a nature reserve and nature park known for migratory bird watching (hence the name "Outardes", old name for Canada goose). The point offers water with multiple exposure and varied conditions. Sand flats are immense at low tide. One of the most remarkable spots on the North Shore.
Sand point in the St. Lawrence estuary. Cold salt water (8-12°C in summer). 3-4m tides exposing vast sand flats. Multiple exposure thanks to the point shape — possible to ride on either side depending on wind. Sandy bottom. Tidal currents around the point. Considerable fetch southward.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Protected nature area — respect wildlife and nesting zones. Strong currents around the point, especially at tide change. Very cold water — thick wetsuit mandatory. Tidal flats at low tide can trap riders. Isolated area. Commercial shipping offshore.
