Les Sables Blancs

Les Sables Blancs is a beach break located on the Atlantic coast of Brittany, France, facing east into a shallow bay. The spot features a sandy beach with a natural sandy bottom that transitions into tidal flats and shallow water toward the back of the bay. The northern section shows extensive mudflats typical of this coastline, while the southern portion has developed infrastructure including parking and beach facilities. The sandy beach provides a forgiving learning environment with gradual depth increase. Wind conditions are modest year-round (9.4 knots average) with relatively low reliability (22.5%), suggesting this is a supplementary spot requiring careful timing. Wave heights average 1.54m with rough water conditions. The protected bay configuration creates side-shore wind conditions from northerly or southerly directions. Best suited for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking calm, sheltered water. Primary considerations include tidal variations affecting water depth and the restricted wind window typical of inland bays. Avoid crowded beach periods.
