Saint-Jacut is a sheltered bay on the northern coast of Brittany, France, formed between two rocky headlands. The spot faces predominantly north-northeast toward open water, with sandy beaches backing residential development. The bay contains numerous moored boats, indicating popular local use and commercial activity.
The enclosed geography provides natural wind shaping and some protection from larger ocean swells, resulting in choppy but manageable water conditions suitable for progression. Wind reliability is modest at 25.1%, with average winds around 9.6 knots. Optimal side-shore conditions occur with westerly (270-285°) winds that align parallel to the main beach. The shallow, sandy bottom near shore reduces wave intensity but creates straightforward progression areas.
This spot suits beginners and early intermediates seeking protected learning conditions away from heavy swells. The dense boat traffic and mooring field require careful navigation and awareness of other water users. Water temperature averages 12.8°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Rocky areas around the northern headland present navigation hazards and should be avoided.
