Question 1

Can you surf at Groix?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Grands Sables beach is France's only convex beach — converging SW/NW swell, waves 0.5–2 m. Intermediate to advanced level. The SW coast (Locméaria, Pointe des Chats) picks up large Atlantic swells in winter. No surf school on the island.

Question 2

Is kitesurfing possible at Groix?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Grands Sables and NW/W beaches receive the dominant SW wind in summer (15–25 knots). Direct Atlantic exposure. Intermediate level required. No overhead power lines near beaches — good safety.

Question 3

Is windsurfing suited to Groix?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Port-Lay is the reference spot: regular SW wind at 15–25 knots, wide open water. Often powerful conditions. Intermediate to advanced level. No school on site — bring your own equipment.
