Pentrez

Pentrez is a sandy beach-break located on the northwest coast of Brittany, France, facing northwest toward the Atlantic. The coastline is characterized by a gently sloping sandy beach with immediate residential and agricultural development. The spot experiences modest Atlantic swell with an average wave height of 0.82m, making it suitable for progression rather than challenging conditions. Wind reliability is relatively low at 22.1%, with average winds of 9.1 knots. The best wind direction for side-shore conditions is from the northeast (45°), which provides parallel wind flow along the beach. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice or small-wave progression in a protected setting. Water temperature averages 13.1°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Key considerations include low wind consistency requiring patience for suitable sessions, shallow water near shore, and proximity to developed areas. The beach offers convenient access but limited wave potential for advanced riders.
