Gréve de Porsguen

Gréve de Porsguen is a sheltered bay on the Breton coast of France, characterized by a sandy beach flanked by rocky headlands. The spot faces south into a protected bay, making it an enclosed water body rather than open ocean exposure. The presence of visible mudflats and tidal channels indicates significant tidal range and shallow water conditions typical of this coastal region. The bay configuration provides natural wind filtering, which explains the low wind reliability. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that run parallel to the bay opening, with east winds (90°) being the most practical side-shore orientation. The shallow, choppy water and enclosed setting make this suitable primarily for beginner to early intermediate riders seeking protected conditions. Wind conditions are inconsistent, averaging only 8.6 knots with 19.1% reliability, meaning sessions are infrequent. Kiters should be aware of tidal fluctuations affecting water depth and the rocky hazards at the bay entrance. Local knowledge of tidal timing is essential.
