About This Spot
Pointe du Blaire is located in the Golfe du Morbihan, a shallow enclosed bay on the Brittany coast of France. The bay is characterized by numerous islands, rocky outcrops, and extensive tidal flats that are exposed at low tide. The main peninsula faces northeast toward the open water, creating side-shore conditions from northwesterly winds. This is a protected bay spot with limited wave development but consistent wind flow due to the funnel effect of the narrow entrance. The area shows significant boat traffic and mooring fields, indicating popular recreational use. Water conditions are typically light with small swell penetration. The bay's shallow nature and numerous hazards require careful navigation and awareness of tide schedules. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds during higher tide states when water depth is adequate. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking predictable, protected conditions without significant wave exposure. Local knowledge of tidal timing and boat traffic patterns is essential for safe progression.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water areas and tidal flats
Scattered moored boats throughout the bay
Rocky outcrops and small islands
Strong tidal currents in narrow passages
Limited fetch distance due to enclosed bay geography
Seagrass beds visible in shallow areas
