Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Ode Vraz Ker Emma is located on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, featuring a sandy beach break with an estuary system. The spot faces northeast into a wider bay, with clear tidal flats and shallow sandbanks visible in the water. The coastline is bordered by agricultural fields and scattered residential development, typical of this coastal region. The spot benefits from exposure to Atlantic swells, though average wave heights of 1.47m suggest inconsistent conditions. Wind reliability at 32% indicates this location experiences variable wind patterns, making session planning essential. Average wind speeds of 10.6 knots provide marginal to moderate conditions for progression. Northwesterly to westerly winds (270-315°) offer side-shore conditions parallel to this northeast-facing shore. The shallow sandbank system creates manageable conditions suitable for beginners and early intermediates, with relatively protected water near shore. Kiters should be aware of tidal cycles affecting water depth and current strength, particularly in the estuary mouth. Low wind reliability suggests best sessions occur during Atlantic weather systems. This spot suits early-stage riders seeking mellow, manageable conditions rather than high-performance sessions.
