Île-Grande (port Saint Sauveur)
France · Brittany
Île-Grande (Port Saint Sauveur) in Trébeurden, Brittany, is a discreet spot in the Pink Granite Coast. It is accessed via a grassy parking area after the camping roundabout, near the port.
It is a small natural basin that offers a sheltered water surface, perfect for calm sessions when conditions are right. The locals keep it a bit secret due to its limited capacity.
The area mainly attracts riders who are well acquainted with the tides and local winds, in a wild setting typical of Trégor.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot mainly works at high tide with a minimum of 5.50m of water, forming a super flat basin magical for freestyle or freeride. At low tide, the area almost completely dries up, making navigation impossible and access technical.
Launching is done on grass at height, which requires caution due to the irregular wind up high. The water entry is sandy at high tide, with a narrow beach that widens a bit.
The ideal wind directions are side-shore from S to SW for the Port Saint Sauveur side, or NE to SE for the east side, creating a flat to chop water surface in a large shallow area like a lagoon. Navigation is towards Port Saint Sauveur from nearby spots like Goas Treiz, but max capacity is 5 kites to avoid overcrowding.
