Kitesurf spot at Baie-Saint-Paul, a jewel of Charlevoix on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. The spot is at the mouth of the Gouffre River where it meets the St. Lawrence. Baie-Saint-Paul is famous for its artistic setting and grandiose landscapes between mountains and river. The tidal flats at the river mouth offer a unique water area at high tide, while low tide reveals a vast foreshore. Charlevoix's mountainous terrain creates wind channeling effects.
Mouth of the Gouffre River in the St. Lawrence estuary. 4-5m tides radically changing the water area. At high tide, good riding area with moderate chop. At low tide, exposed sand and mud foreshore. Cold brackish water (10-14°C). Combined tidal and river currents. Thermal effects possible between mountain and river.
