Often strong. A spot that works with any wind direction except North, Northeast and Northwest, then you'd rather go to `La Torche`. Edit

From Quimper drive to Bénodet. At Bénodet, drive to `Le Letty` or `Impasse de Croas Gwen` and then to `La Pointe St Gilles`. Get across the river or drive all the way around onto the peninsula.Edit
Be careful with the very strong current at the river mouth.Edit
