About This Spot
Port-Navalo is a sheltered bay in Brittany, France, enclosed by residential development and natural headlands. The bay opens toward the northeast with a sandy beach on the southern side and rocky features to the north. The protected nature of the bay provides relatively mild conditions with average waves of 1.22m and moderate wind averaging 10.1 knots. However, the bay is heavily populated with moored boats, reducing available riding space. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°), providing side-shore flow parallel to the main beach. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected, flat-water conditions. Wind reliability is low at 25.3%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. The main constraint is water traffic and boat congestion during peak seasons. Riders should monitor tide changes affecting shallow areas and be aware of the limited wind window due to the bay's orientation. This spot works best during off-peak periods when boat traffic is minimal.
Hazards & Safety
