About the spot

Boyardville's sheltered eastern location usually receives less swell than Oléron's west coast. Southeasterly wind is documented; more southerly wind becomes disturbed near the trees. Tide and shells on the bottom still matter despite the calmer surface.

Keep swimming and boat-mooring areas clear. Kite Inside describes peak-season use before 11:00 or after 19:00; current signage takes precedence. Pack up before the beach becomes crowded. Foot protection is useful, and foils need sufficient depth outside the shallow inner bay.
