About This Spot
Camping Gionnet is located on a shallow bay in eastern Canada, facing west toward the water body. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with visible mudflats and scattered rocks typical of Maritime coastal environments. The bay configuration provides some protection from open ocean swell, resulting in choppy rather than organized wave conditions with an average height of 0.68m. Wind reliability is notably low at 22.5%, making consistent kitesurfing sessions difficult. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow. The shallow water and soft bottom make this spot suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking calmer conditions away from ocean exposure. Key considerations include monitoring tidal fluctuations that significantly affect water depth and usable beach area, avoiding the scattered hazards and rocks, and being mindful of residential proximity. The area's low wind average (9.3 knots) and limited reliability suggest this is best suited for light-wind specialists or as a secondary spot when other locations are too powerful.
