Port Blanc

Port Blanc is a sheltered bay located on the Breton coast of northern France, characterized by a northeast-facing shoreline with moderate development and substantial vegetation cover. The spot consists of a shallow, protected bay with sandy/muddy bottom interspersed with rocky outcrops. This is a moored boat anchorage area with consistent recreational vessel presence. The bay's enclosed nature provides natural wind protection but limits wave generation, resulting in minimal swell and light wind conditions (average 10.5 knots). Best kitesurfing conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°), which blow side-shore across the bay entrance. The low wind reliability (31.5%) and small average wave height (0.68m) indicate this is primarily a light-wind spot suitable for foiling or large-sail flying. This location suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions with minimal ocean swell exposure. However, the combination of boat traffic, rocky hazards, and shallow variable bathymetry requires careful route planning and awareness. Water temperature averages 13°C, requiring thermal protection. The spot is best suited to calm days when boat traffic is manageable.
