Question 1

Is Quiberon good for surfing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The wild coast (SW) receives Atlantic swell: waves 0.5–3 m. Intermediate to advanced at main spots (Porigo, Beg er Lan). La Saline beach and the east bay suit beginners. Surf school on site. Watch for rip currents on the wild coast.

Question 2

Is kitesurfing or windsurfing possible at Quiberon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Quiberon Bay (east side) offers a sheltered body of water ideal in NW/W wind. The wild coast works in SW/W wind. Intermediate level. Kite school on site. Never kitesurf on the wild coast side in strong wind — no way out if you fall.

Question 3

Is stand-up paddle suited to Quiberon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The east side of Quiberon Bay is excellent for SUP. Paddling to Belle-Île (11 km, expert level) or along the peninsula. All levels in the bay when wind is below 15 knots. Water 13–20°C. Rental on site.
