Question 1

Can you surf or kitesurf at Dahouët?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Val-André beach (2 km, 2 km north) is the area's main spot: 2.5 km NW/W exposed, waves 0.3–1.5 m in autumn-winter. Regular SW thermal wind in summer at 15–25 knots for kitesurfing. From Dahouët, direct access on foot (20 min).

Question 2

Is windsurfing possible from Dahouët?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Saint-Brieuc Bay is an excellent body of water in SW/NW wind at 15–25 knots. Intermediate level. Val-André beach (2 km) is the preferred launch spot. Watch for the large tidal range (8–13 m) which changes the available water surface.

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Dahouët estuary is navigable at high tide. Calm water, rich wildlife. Coastal paddling towards Val-André or Erquy for experienced paddlers. Water 9–17°C. All levels in the estuary.
