About This Spot
Point Canot Grande Batture is located in a coastal bay in the Canadian Maritimes with a northwest-facing shoreline backed by dense forest and residential development. The spot features shallow, choppy water characteristic of tidal bay environments with visible rocky features and tidal flats. The protected bay setting provides reduced wave exposure and limited fetch, resulting in typically small, choppy conditions suitable for progression rather than wave riding.
Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Low wind reliability (14.5%) and modest average wind speed (8.1 knots) suggest this spot works primarily during seasonal wind events rather than consistent daily conditions. Average wave height of 0.52m indicates limited swell contribution.
This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking a protected practice environment with minimal wave energy. The shallow bay environment demands careful navigation around visible rocks and tidal features. Tidal cycles significantly affect water depth and conditions. Local knowledge of tide times and shallow areas is essential before visiting.
