Plage de Sorlock

Plage de Sorlock is a sheltered bay on the Brittany coast of France, characterized by a crescent-shaped sandy beach backed by residential development. The bay opens toward the northeast, with rocky headlands protecting the northern and southern flanks. The primary beach area shows moderate infrastructure development, while the bay interior hosts numerous moored sailboats and fishing vessels. This spot functions as a protected lagoon-bay hybrid, suitable primarily for beginner kiters due to limited wind exposure and constrained space. The shallow bay waters offer low-consequence learning conditions, though moored boats create navigation obstacles that require attention. Wind approaches best from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions relative to the beach orientation. Average wind reliability of 27% and modest 10.3-knot averages indicate this is a marginal wind location dependent on seasonal patterns. Water conditions show typical coastal choppiness rather than organized swell. The spot suits learners and recreational kiters seeking protected conditions, though advanced riders will find limited challenge. Tidal influences and boat traffic require constant awareness. Best sessions likely occur during periods of stronger Atlantic depression systems.
