Many rocks — ride in the centre of the bay. With offshore wind (south), fast drift toward Jersey: never ride alone. Summer overcrowding and self-teaching. Shorebreak at high tide on some beaches.
Launch depends on tide and wind direction (Tête de Chien, Pissote, Rougeret, Saint-Cieux, Briantais…). Bird reserve at the back of the bay for part of the year. Source: Emeraude Kite.
