La Maison de Clémenceau

La Maison de Clémenceau is located on the Bay of Biscay coast in western France, facing southeast toward open Atlantic waters. The spot consists of a gently sloping beach break with extensive shallow sandbanks and tidal flats. The area shows moderate wave exposure with average 1.39m swells and relatively sheltered conditions compared to exposed Atlantic breaks. The residential development immediately inland suggests limited space for kitesurfing operations and access constraints. Wind reliability is low at 18.8%, indicating this is a marginal spot requiring patient wind-watching. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds (45°), which provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Average wind speeds of 8.9 knots are modest, suitable primarily for lighter-wind sessions. Water temperatures around 14.1°C require cold-water gear. The shallow, tidal nature of the bay makes this spot suitable for beginners during optimal conditions, though the low wind frequency and restricted access make it unreliable for regular sessions.
