Le Dossen

Le Dossen is a beach break located on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, facing northwest toward the Atlantic. The spot consists of a sandy beach with residential development immediately inland and dense forest coverage to the south. Water conditions are characterized by small average waves (1.28m) and low wind reliability at 31.8%, making it an inconsistent destination. The spot works best with northeast winds providing side-shore conditions. Water temperature averages 12.8°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. The shallow sandy bottom and proximity to residential areas create space constraints for launching and landing. This location suits beginners during wind windows due to small waves and sandy bottom, but wind scarcity limits session frequency. Tidal effects common to Brittany's coast will influence water movement and sand patterns. The sheltered nature and low wave energy make it suitable for learning but less ideal for progression or regular training.
