Kernisi

Kernisi is a sheltered bay location on the Breton coast of northwestern France, characterized by dense forest coverage and agricultural land backing a sandy/rocky shoreline. The bay faces northwest toward the Atlantic, providing moderate protection from open ocean swell. The spot features choppy water conditions typical of coastal bays with limited fetch, averaging 0.44m waves. Wind reliability at 28.6% is relatively low, suggesting the location is affected by topographic wind shadows from surrounding woodland and terrain. Best conditions occur with northeasterly or easterly winds that blow parallel to the coastline (side-shore). The shallow water near shore and scattered rocky areas visible along the coast present navigation considerations. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking calm, protected conditions rather than high wind or wave exposure. The low wind reliability means sessions require careful weather monitoring and flexibility regarding when the spot is viable. Local knowledge of tidal variations and seasonal wind patterns would be valuable for consistent visits.
