Trestraou

Trestraou is a sheltered bay located on the north coast of Brittany, France, near Perros-Guirec. The spot features a curved sandy beach protected by rocky headlands on either side, creating a natural amphitheater. The bay opens toward the northeast, with a prominent sandbank visible in the center. This is a protected, beginner-friendly location suitable for light-wind conditions and skill development. Best winds are from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions that keep riders safely within the bay. The average wind of 10.3 knots is relatively light, limiting this spot to lighter-wind days or foil users. Water temperature averages 13°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. Wave heights average 1.09m, indicating mild, forgiving conditions. The proximity of residential development and boat anchorages means awareness of other water users is necessary. The protected nature makes this ideal for beginners and those practicing new skills, but the limited fetch and modest wind reliability (29.5%) mean consistent sessions cannot be guaranteed.
