Place de Ste-Luce

Plage de Ste-Luce is located on the northern shore of the St. Lawrence River estuary in Quebec, Canada. This bay-like setting features a north-facing coastline with extensive shallow water and visible tidal flats. The water body transitions from deeper river channels to shallow near-shore areas, creating variable conditions throughout tidal cycles. The spot benefits from residential and commercial infrastructure nearby, indicating accessibility. Wind reliability is notably low at 14.6%, with average winds of 8 knots and temperatures around 5°C, typical of the subarctic climate. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (90°) providing side-shore flow. The shallow water and protected bay characteristics make this suitable for beginner to intermediate riders when wind is present. Key considerations include timing with tidal conditions, as water depth variations significantly affect riding area availability. The proximity of roads and development means the spot may experience variable wind due to terrain effects. Winter conditions would be harsh with cold temperatures. This location is primarily seasonal during warmer months.
