About This Spot
Le Roaliguen is a sheltered bay on the Breton coast of France, facing west into the Atlantic. The spot is characterized by a sandy beach with rocky points and shallow water near shore, backed by residential development and green fields. The bay provides natural protection from larger ocean swells, creating manageable wave conditions suitable for progression. Water conditions are typically rough-chop rather than organized swell. With an average wind speed of 8.9 knots and only 19.4% reliability, this is a marginal spot requiring specific weather windows. Best wind direction is northerly (side-shore), which provides safe offshore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot is most suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters due to protected waters and limited hazards in the main bay area. Kiters should be aware of moored boats, rocky areas near the headlands, and the need to time sessions with favorable wind windows. Low water reliability means this location is better as a secondary option rather than primary destination.
Hazards & Safety
Rocky outcrops and reef formations visible along coastline
Shallow areas near shore requiring careful entry/exit
Moored boats in bay - collision risk
Strong tidal currents typical of Breton bays
Limited fetch distance - bay is relatively enclosed
