About This Spot
Pointe-Canot is a small bay kitesurfing spot located along the eastern coast of Canada's Maritime region. The spot faces west into a protected bay with a sandy beach and shallow lagoon system. The presence of a rocky headland to the north and residential development constrains the riding area, making this primarily a beginner-friendly location with limited space. Water conditions are typically choppy with small wave development due to restricted fetch and bay protection. North wind (0°) provides the optimal side-shore condition for safe kitesurfing, though the area's low wind reliability (14.5%) and modest average wind speed (8.1 knots) suggest marginal conditions for consistent riding. The cold water temperature (6.3°C) requires proper thermal protection year-round. This spot suits beginners and those seeking lighter wind conditions, though riders must be aware of shallow areas, tidal movements, and the limited launch/landing zones. Best visited during predictable wind windows in spring and early autumn.
