Kerloc'h

Kerloc'h is a sandy beach break located on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, facing south toward the Atlantic. The spot features a long, sheltered sandy beach backed by low cliffs and surrounded by mixed agricultural and forested terrain. A small settlement provides basic amenities and road access via the coastal highway. The beach break produces small, rolling waves suitable for learning, with an average height of 1.39m. Wind reliability is relatively low at 32%, with average winds around 10.5 knots, suggesting this is a seasonal or inconsistent spot. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the south-facing coast. The shallow water near shore and sandy bottom make this suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking a protected environment. Main considerations include tidal effects on water depth and sand bar positions, potential crowd management at the accessible beach, and timing sessions when wind reliability improves seasonally. Water temperature of 13.1°C requires appropriate thermal protection year-round.
