Plage de L'Aber

Plage de L'Aber is a sandy beach break located on the Brittany coast of northwestern France, facing southwest into the Atlantic Ocean. The beach stretches along a relatively open coastline with agricultural land immediately inland and rocky headlands marking the northern boundary. The spot receives consistent Atlantic swell with moderate wave heights averaging 1.4 meters. Wind reliability is relatively low at 31.9%, with average winds of 10.5 knots. Side-shore conditions are achieved with easterly winds (90°), which provide the safest kiting angle parallel to the beach. The water temperature averages 12.9°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. This spot suits intermediate riders seeking a less-crowded beach break with reasonable wave exposure. The sandy bottom and moderate wave size make it accessible for progression, though the low wind reliability means sessions may be infrequent. Kiters should monitor tide levels carefully, as tidal range in this region significantly affects water depth and usable beach area. Local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns is valuable for planning sessions.
