About This Spot
Beg Léguer is a sheltered bay location on the Breton coast facing northwest into the Atlantic. The spot features a sandy beach backed by residential development and dense vegetation, with rocky formations visible along the waterline. The bay's enclosed nature provides natural wind filtering and wave reduction, creating a controlled environment suitable for progression. The shallow bay bottom with exposed mudflats at low tide limits water depth significantly. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds that blow side-shore across the bay entrance. Wind reliability is low at 26%, suggesting inconsistent conditions. Average wave height of 1.04m indicates small swell penetration due to bay protection. This spot suits beginners and early-intermediate kiters seeking calm water and manageable conditions. Key considerations include tide planning (significant tidal range affects usable water depth and flats), variable wind due to surrounding terrain, and residential proximity. The protected nature makes it safer for learning but less suitable for wave riding or freestyle in stronger conditions.
