Pointe des Trois Pierres

Pointe des Trois Pierres is a beach break located on France's Atlantic coast in the Vendée region, facing northwest into the Bay of Biscay. The spot features a sandy beach with rocky formations at the northern end, backed by residential development and agricultural land. Wave heights average 1.47m, with conditions driven by Atlantic swell exposure. The coastline orientation (315°) suggests side-shore conditions with northeast winds (45°) or southwest winds (225°). However, wind reliability is only 37.3%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Average wind speed of 11.4 knots provides marginal power for kitesurfing. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with moderate waves and variable conditions. Key considerations include proximity to rocks at the northern end, shallow water near shore requiring careful positioning, and limited beach space due to coastal development. Summer temperatures average 14.4°C, requiring a wetsuit. Best conditions occur during Atlantic storm systems that generate both wind and swell simultaneously.
