Perros-Guirec

Perros-Guirec is located in a protected bay on the northern coast of Brittany, France. The spot features a northeastern-facing shoreline with a large protected harbor area, tidal flats, and a lower-energy lagoon environment. The bay provides shelter from Atlantic swells while allowing wind access through the northern opening. Best conditions occur with northwesterly to northerly winds (310-350°), which provide reliable side-shore conditions. The shallow, sheltered nature and low average wave height (1.09m) make this suitable for beginners and early-intermediate kiters seeking calm water practice. Key considerations include significant tidal fluctuations that expose sandbars and mudflats, requiring awareness of water depth changes throughout the day. The marina and moored boat traffic necessitate careful zone selection. Wind reliability is relatively low (21.7%), making consistent sessions challenging. This spot suits progression riders seeking protected conditions rather than wave-riding enthusiasts.
