Le Braye is one of the best kitesurfing spots in Jersey, located on the west coast of the island in St Ouen's Bay. This long sandy beach is perfectly exposed to the dominant southwest and west winds coming from the Atlantic. Conditions can be powerful with swell and waves, making it suitable for experienced riders. Jersey's tides are among the largest in Europe, offering an immense playground at low tide.
