La Belle Henriette is located in a bay on the Atlantic coast of western France, characterized by extensive sandy and muddy tidal flats. The spot faces south toward the water, with a complex system of sandbanks and shallow channels visible in the imagery. Nearby residential development, caravan parks, and boat moorings indicate this is a populated coastal area requiring awareness of other water users. The bay's protected nature provides calm conditions suitable for beginners, though the shallow tidal environment demands careful route planning and timing around tide cycles. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (side-shore), though overall wind reliability is quite low at 17.2%. Wave heights are minimal (1.14m average), making this more suited to flatwater technique development than wave riding. The spot works best for beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected conditions, though visitors should expect strong tidal flows and plan sessions around favorable tide windows. Water temperature and muddy conditions are typical for this Atlantic estuary environment.
