Les Sables Blancs Tréboul

Les Sables Blancs is a protected bay located on the Brittany coast in northwestern France, characterized by a northeast-facing shoreline bordered by dense forest and residential development. The spot features a sandy beach with a gradual shelf, transitioning to deeper water beyond 300m offshore. Visible rocky outcrops and kelp beds indicate kelp forest habitat typical of Atlantic Breton waters. The bay's sheltered configuration provides reduced fetch and moderate wave exposure. Wind conditions are marginal with low reliability (21.9%), averaging 9.2 knots. Best side-shore conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°). Water temperature averages 13.2°C requiring thermal protection. Wave height averages 1.09m, making this suitable for beginner progression in light wind. The spot suits learners seeking sheltered, shallow-water conditions with limited boat traffic and residential oversight. Proximity to forest and buildings limits wind channeling. Local knowledge of tide schedules and seasonal kelp growth patterns is recommended.
