Access: commune of Plonévez-Porzay, direction Plage de Kervel. Car park below the Campéole Trezmalaouen campsite. Launch on the beach only — forbidden from car park and protected dune areas.

For waves: prefer mid to high tide in winter (low tide very choppy). School spot: shallow water, ideal for beginners.

Open all year round

Beginner

Baie de Douarnenez water — approximately 10km of fetch. Shallow water close to shore, ideal for beginners. In SW/N with W swell: accessible, clean waves, better shaped than Pentrez. In W wind: freeride with moderate waves. At high tide: launch/landing area reduced. At low tide: wide beach exposed but choppier in N wind.

Car park below the Campéole Trezmalaouen campsite, directly accessible from the beach. Free. Campsites and restaurants nearby.

Spot exposed to NW-N, southern shore of the Baie de Douarnenez. Best conditions:

• NW to N: side-onshore — perfect school and freeride conditions, 12–20kt.
• SW: best direction for waves — clean waves if W swell running.
• W: onshore — freeride spot, accessible waves.

Wind often more irregular than on the north shore, especially in pure North. NW thermal reliable May–September in the afternoon.
