Île-Tudy

Île-Tudy is a small coastal settlement located on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, situated in a protected bay environment. The spot faces northeast toward open water, with a gently sloping sandy beach backed by residential development. The bay provides natural windbreak from westerly directions, making it suitable for lighter wind conditions. The shallow, enclosed water creates relatively small wave formation with minimal fetch, resulting in manageable swell heights around 1.5m average. Best conditions occur with northwesterly to northeasterly winds that approach side-shore. The low wind reliability (27.3%) and modest average wind speed (10.1 knots) suggest this spot is more suitable for lighter-wind days or beginners seeking calmer conditions. The residential proximity and visible boat traffic indicate shared water use. Limited wave exposure and protected bay characteristics make this a beginner-friendly location, though the low wind frequency may result in limited riding days annually. Riders should account for tidal ranges typical of the Atlantic coast and check local regulations regarding water use.
