Île-d’Houat

The Tréac’h Salus spot works ideally with a wind from South to West (S, SSW, SW, WSW), which comes side-shore or side-on relative to the west-facing beach. Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, but care should be taken with the rocks at the north and south ends for takeoff and landing.

The navigation area is wide, with a water surface that ranges from chop to small or medium waves depending on wind strength and swell. Tides have little influence on the beach, which remains usable, but at low tide, the launching space is more restricted.

Local feature: the island is exposed to the dominant winds from the Atlantic, offering regular sessions all year round. Avoid days with high tidal coefficients to limit currents.
