About This Spot
Moulin Blanc is a sheltered bay located in Brittany, France, characterized by a protected crescent beach and shallow water conditions. The spot faces northeast into the bay, with significant marina infrastructure dominating the southwestern section. The shallow bay waters and surrounding residential development create a contained environment with reduced fetch and wind acceleration compared to open-coast breaks. Wind reliability at 17.5% is notably low, indicating this spot requires specific weather windows to be viable. Best conditions occur with northwest winds crossing perpendicular to the shore, creating side-shore conditions for safe kite control. The bay's protection makes it suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters when conditions align, as the contained water and marina barriers reduce exposure to large swells and strong currents. However, the low wind reliability and boat traffic in the marina require careful timing and awareness. Average wave height of 0.44m confirms this is primarily a flatwater spot dependent on consistent wind rather than swell.
Hazards & Safety
Marina with dense mooring field to southwest - boat traffic and entanglement risk
Highway infrastructure parallel to coast - noise and visual obstruction
Shallow areas visible near sandy beach - depth variations across bay
Protected bay structure creates wind shadow effect from surrounding terrain
Pier/breakwater structures visible - obstacles for launching and landing
