About This Spot
Les Godelins is a small bay located on the Breton coast of northern France, characterized by a northeastern-facing sandy beach bordered by rocky headlands. The spot sits within a residential coastal community with green pastoral hinterland. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than well-formed, with minimal wave development. Wind reliability is notably low at 19.4%, with average winds around 8.9 knots, making consistent sessions challenging. The bay configuration provides some protection from Atlantic swells but limits wave generation. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds providing side-shore flow. The shallow, murky water and rocky features require careful positioning. This spot suits beginners during rare windy conditions, offering protected water and minimal crowds. The low wind frequency and small wave size make it primarily a destination for local enthusiasts rather than dedicated kitesurfing travelers. Access may be restricted by residential areas. Water temperature averages around 12.9°C, requiring seasonal wetsuits.
