La Baie des Anges

La Baie des Anges is a north-facing bay on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, characterized by tidal flats, sandy shoals, and sheltered waters. The bay contains active aquaculture operations visible as rectangular farm installations in the upper section. The spot benefits from natural shelter provided by the bay's geography, though this also limits wind exposure and consistency. Average wind of 11.7 knots with only 39.9% reliability indicates variable conditions dependent on weather systems. Best winds arrive from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions for the northeast-facing sandy beach areas. Water temperatures average 13°C and waves typically reach 1.7m. The spot suits intermediate kiters seeking lighter wind conditions and protected waters, though low reliability requires patience. Key considerations include navigating around fish farms, respecting active boat traffic in the harbor channel, avoiding shallow areas during low tide, and understanding local tidal ranges which significantly affect water depth and usability.
