Trestraou

Trestraou is a wide sandy bay in Perros-Guirec that works across multiple wind and water sports. The beach is described as sheltered for surfing, with sandy bottom and generally clean water that makes entry comparatively straightforward, though the beach shape changes strongly between high and low tide. For wind sports, provider data repeatedly points to northerly wind sectors (roughly North through North-East and North-West) as the key for kiteboarding and wingfoiling. Typical on-beach conditions are reported as small-to-medium waves, with a sandy, shallow launch profile that is especially relevant for safe, beginner-friendly entry at mid-to-low tide—while still requiring awareness of tide levels because the beach is described as tidal. Surfing at Trestraou is primarily about getting the right wrap: the bay needs a sufficiently large West or North-West swell to form rideable peaks inside. When it’s working, the waves are often described as short and punchy with peeling shape, and the practical ride windows are typically under about 50 m. Some providers also note that larger swells can eventually cause closing-out as energy builds and the inside gets overwhelmed. Safety-wise, the main emphasis is on seasonal swimmer protection and beach usage rules. During July and August, water sports are restricted to specific swimmer zones (with guidance that the surf zone is on the right side of the beach). Hazards also include stones near entry and rocks at the ends of the bay; one provider additionally flags tidal currents around rocky points, so checking tide and planning a safe launch/landing approach are important. Lifeguards are described as seasonal and rescue availability is limited, so riders should not rely on immediate assistance offshore.
