Morgat

Morgat is a sheltered bay on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, featuring a crescent sandy beach backed by residential development. The bay faces southeast, with rocky headlands framing both northern and southern endpoints. The spot functions as a protected bay with moderate wave exposure and relatively shallow water conditions. Best conditions occur with northeasterly to easterly winds that provide side-shore to side-onshore alignment. The low average wind speed (9.3 knots) and limited reliability (23.8%) suggest this spot requires patience and selective session timing. Wave heights average 1.42m, suitable for progression but limited for advanced riders. The enclosed bay provides protection from heavy swells and strong currents typical of open ocean breaks. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates seeking mellow conditions with reduced hazard exposure. The nearby residential area and visible infrastructure indicate regular public beach usage. Kiters should monitor tide cycles, respect beach users, and be prepared for light wind days. The shallow bay waters require awareness of sandbars and tidal movements.
