Le Letty

Le Letty is a well-known surf and wind sport spot in South Brittany, France, near Bénodet in Finistère. It sits on the Baie de la Forêt / Odet estuary side, with a long sandy beach and a shallow, sheltered water area that can turn into a fun wave spot depending on swell and tide.

Spot description

• Type: Beach break / sheltered bay spot
• Best for: Surfing on smaller swells, and especially kitesurfing, windsurfing, and wing foiling
• Wave character: Usually small to medium, playful waves rather than powerful surf
• Bottom: Mostly sand, which makes it more forgiving and easier for learners
• Conditions: Works best with the right tide and southwest swell, and conditions can be highly tide-dependent

What to expect

• On the right setup, Le Letty can offer clean, peelable waves that are fun for intermediate surfers.
• In bigger swell, it can become messier and more crowded, with shifting peaks.
• The spot is often preferred more for flatwater and bump-and-jump wind sports than for serious surfing.

Good to know

• Tides matter a lot: the spot can be weak or unsurfable at certain tide stages.
• It’s generally safer for beginners than reef or rock spots because of the sandy bottom.
• Because it’s in a scenic, protected area, it can be crowded in summer and around windy days.
