Hazards

Baie de Morlaix: rocky coastline, varied tidal range, complex currents near Île Callot and the islands. Multiple beaches at Carantec (peninsula) — wind direction and tide determine which beach is best. Strong tidal range: some beaches dry out almost completely at low tide. Château du Taureau navigation channel — respect maritime traffic. Never ride alone.

Wind specificities

Presqu'île with multiple beaches allowing navigation in almost any wind direction. Kelenn beach: favourable N to SW arc. Sheltered bays provide flat water by offshore winds. Wing and windfoil predominant thanks to the sheltered, consistent conditions. NE thermal breeze in spring and summer. Good conditions June–September.
