Bénodet

The Letty lagoon is generally oriented southwest and works ideally with winds from south to east in side-shore or side-on, as it is a closed sea protected from waves. Winds from SSE, S, SSW, SW are recommended for optimal water conditions, but it can work in all directions due to its sheltered configuration.

At high tide, the water is flat to chop with little depth, ideal for waterstarts and freestyle in shallow water. The launch can be done from several access points, the best being the long peninsula to the south of the lagoon which offers the most space to take off and land the kite. At low tide, the lagoon completely empties, making navigation impossible on the lagoon side but allowing access on foot to the White Sea to ride on the ocean if conditions are good there.

The navigation area is wide at high tide, but remains shallow everywhere, perfect for progressing without risking the bottom. Be cautious at low tide where the current accelerates at the mouth. Parking next to the UCPA at low tide, or on Kerler beach at high tide with a bit of walking. On the White Sea side, accessible via the tip of Cor de Groasguen to avoid the naturist beach.
