Carnac

Saint-Colomban is open to dominant west winds, making it the best-exposed beach in the bay of Quiberon. With winds from the W-NW (side-shore starboard), conditions are ideal for the spot, allowing for easy takeoff to escape, freestyle, or initiate. The S-SW (side-on-shore) winds are the safest for beginners as they bring riders back to the beach, with small waves allowing experienced riders to find a playful terrain.

With winds from the N (offshore), caution is advised as this wind comes from land and pushes away from the beach, but the spot becomes very flat, ideal for speedboarders and freestylers. The swell does not come in too strong and there is little risk of drifting out to sea. Access to the water is easy from the authentic Saint-Co Windsurf hut at the west cove of the beach.

At low tide, the beach offers a calm and shallow water surface over a vast area, perfect for beginners and initiation. At high tide during large coefficients, the beach can be reduced, but as soon as the water recedes, it is the ideal place to learn. The left side of the beach is dedicated to kitesurfing, while the right side is reserved for non-motorized water sports like sailing or kayaking. At the tip of Saint-Colomban, the rocks shelter small coves that are revealed at low tide.
