Pointe de Grignon

Pointe de Grignon is located on the Atlantic coast of western France, situated in a bay formation with significant residential development inland. The spot consists of a beach break with mixed sand and rocky features, fronting a forest-covered headland. The bay orientation provides some protection from direct Atlantic swell, though the exposed position still receives consistent wave energy. Water conditions are typically rough with moderate choppy seas. The spot works best with northeast winds (45°) which provide reliable side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Low wind reliability (33.5%) and modest average wind speeds (11 knots) suggest this is a seasonal spot dependent on weather systems. The presence of rocks, shallow sandbars, and tidal currents require intermediate-level skills for safe navigation. Best suited for intermediate kiters with experience reading shallow water conditions and managing reef awareness. Conditions favor autumn and spring when Atlantic weather systems are most active.
