Île Vierge

Île Vierge is a small rocky island located off the coast of Brittany, France, surrounded by a shallow bay with complex bathymetry. The island itself features distinctive winding paths across grassy terrain, indicating inhabited or managed status. The spot offers a protected bay environment with multiple rocky hazards, making it a technical location requiring navigation awareness. The northeast-facing orientation of the main launch area provides side-shore conditions with northwesterly winds, which align with local prevailing patterns. However, the low wind reliability (41.4%) and moderate average wind speed (12 knots) suggest this is a seasonal or conditional spot. Water temperatures average 13°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. This spot suits intermediate kiters with rock and shallow-water experience, as the surrounding reefs and rocky outcrops demand precise positioning and good control. The rough water conditions and variable wave heights (1.72m average) indicate technical water rather than ideal learning conditions. Tidal considerations are critical in this high-tidal-range region. Best sessions occur during spring tides with established northwest wind patterns.
