Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Blancs Sablons is located in a sheltered bay on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, characterized by a northeast-facing coastline with sandy beaches interspersed with rocky headlands. The spot benefits from protection on the western and southern sides, with tidal flats visible to the east creating shallow water zones. The bay contains multiple anchorages with moored boats, indicating active maritime use. Wind from the northwest (315°) provides ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the main beach. With average winds of 11.6 knots and moderate wave heights around 1.7m, this location suits intermediate kiters seeking a protected environment with manageable conditions. The bay's complex bathymetry, including sudden depth changes and rocky hazards, requires local knowledge. Tidal effects are significant given the Brittany region's pronounced tidal range. Best sessions occur during high tide to minimize shallow water complications and maximize usable area.
