Technical details of spot

Spot functioning

Access from Redon via local roads. Launch from the lake shore. Avoid rigging near the trees — move out to the centre for clean laminar wind. No tidal influence. Best conditions on hot sunny afternoons when the thermal builds over the lake. Self-organised spot.

On the water

Freshwater lake — flat to very slightly choppy. Sandy and muddy bottom. No currents, no swell, no shorebreak. Very safe environment for learning. The lake size limits the thermal effect — wind can be light on cooler days.

Spot opening date

• Open: from 01/04 to 31/10
  Saison principale. Vérifier les règles de pratique locales du plan d'eau.

Open year-round. Best season: May to September. Afternoon thermal wind most consistent June to August. A useful inland alternative when Atlantic coast conditions are too strong or unfavourable.

Wind specificities

Southwest to northwest and north thermal winds are the most reliable. The surrounding forest creates wind shadow close to shore — the centre of the lake gives much cleaner conditions. On hot sunny days the lake heats up and generates its own local thermal cycle. Ideal for light wind foiling sessions when the Atlantic coast is too strong.
