Térénez

Térénez is a sheltered river estuary spot located in Brittany, France, where a tidal river meets the sea. The narrow waterway is bordered by agricultural land and residential development on the eastern shore, with natural vegetation and woods on the western side. Multiple moored boats indicate recreational and fishing activity. The spot offers relatively protected conditions compared to open ocean alternatives, making it suitable for intermediate riders seeking flat to small wave conditions. Best winds come from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the estuary alignment. Wind reliability is moderate at 28.9%, suggesting inconsistent conditions typical of sheltered river valleys. Water temperatures average 12.8°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The primary challenge is navigating tidal flows and variable depths while avoiding boat traffic in the mooring field. The limited fetch and narrow channel restrict swell development. This spot works best during slack tides and moderate wind conditions, suiting riders comfortable with narrow working areas and tidal considerations.
