Saint-Pabu is part of the 2.8km of continuous beach shared with Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau, on the Aber Ildut / Aber Benoît coast, north Finistère. Intermediate-level spot, flat water, beginner-friendly. Best from rising tide to avoid rocks.
Wind from SW to NE (best NE/W). Very similar conditions to the adjacent Trois-Moutons beach. Kite + windfoil + wingfoil. Used by AvelWest school.
AvelWest — kitesurf school Finistère Nord, uses Saint-Pabu as a teaching spot. Rêve O Kite — kitesurf school also operating in the area (Landéda/Sainte-Marguerite zone).
Flat water, tidal bay. Sandy at mid-tide, rocks exposed at high tide (coefficient > 60). Plan around rising tide for best conditions. Some seaweed on lines risk in areas where kelp accumulates at waterline.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Tidal currents from the Aber Benoît estuary — strong at peak flow. At high tide with coefficient above 60: beach may touch the rocks (1–3 hours either side of high tide). Plan sessions around rising tide to have sand underfoot. Seaweed (goémon) can interfere with lines — react immediately if lines get caught.
Wind from SW to NE, best NE and W. S is often gusty. NW is reliable and offers great flat sessions at low to mid tide.
