Keralliou

Keralliou is a protected bay located on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, characterized by a northwest-facing shoreline with moderate residential and forest coverage inland. The spot features a narrow bay formation with sandy beaches interspersed with rocky areas. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than wave-oriented, making this primarily a flatwater kitesurfing venue. The limited fetch and bay confinement result in minimal wave development and low average heights. Wind reliability is modest at 22.5%, with northerly winds providing the most consistent side-shore approach. The shallow waters near shore and scattered rocks require careful navigation, particularly during entry and exit. Average wind speeds of 9.2 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, suggesting sessions occur during stronger wind windows. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking a protected environment with minimal wave hazards. The proximity to residential areas and the technical nature of navigation around rocky features demand local knowledge and caution.
