Tidal Current Atlas: Southern Brittany Coast, from Audierne to Le Croisic

Publication in French
Paperback edition

Essential Tool for Safe and Precise Navigation

Navigate the challenging waters of Southern Brittany with confidence using this comprehensive tidal current atlas. Designed for mariners, this publication provides hourly tidal current charts for both spring and neap tides, ensuring you have the most accurate data for safe and efficient voyages. Whether you're a commercial vessel operator, a competitive sailor, or a recreational boater, this atlas is your key to mastering the dynamic currents of the region.

Unmatched Coverage of Southern Brittany’s Coastal Waters

This atlas covers the entire Southern Brittany coastline, from Audierne to Le Croisic, including critical sectors such as Penmarc’h, Groix - Lorient, Quiberon Bay, and the Gulf of Morbihan. Each sector is meticulously mapped with 12 detailed charts, offering a complete overview of tidal currents at one-hour intervals. The Mercator projection ensures accurate spatial representation, making it easier to plan your route and anticipate changes in current patterns.

Engineered for Professional and Recreational Use

Developed by experts in hydrodynamic modeling, this atlas is based on precise data, including tidal patterns, bathymetry, and current measurements. It is an indispensable resource for professionals in maritime transport, fishing, and environmental studies, as well as for sailors, divers, and regatta participants. The atlas provides critical insights for projects such as marine discharge planning, port developments, and coastal engineering, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards.

Optimized for Real-World Applications

With a focus on practicality, this atlas presents tidal currents in a clear and accessible format. The resolution varies from 50 meters to 1 kilometer, depending on the area, with finer details provided for complex zones like the Gulf of Morbihan. The semi-diurnal tide cycle is fully accounted for, allowing you to adapt your navigation strategy to both spring and neap tides. Whether you're navigating narrow channels or open waters, this atlas equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions.

Built to Last, Designed for Reliability

This paperback edition is designed for durability, with a sturdy construction that withstands the rigors of onboard use. Weighing just 1 kg, it is lightweight and easy to handle, making it a practical addition to any vessel’s navigation library. While a digital version is available, many mariners prefer the reliability of a physical atlas, especially in environments where electronic devices may fail. This publication remains valid indefinitely, ensuring it remains a trusted resource for years to come.

Why This Atlas Stands Out

  • Comprehensive coverage of Southern Brittany’s tidal currents, from Audierne to Le Croisic
  • 12 detailed charts per sector, updated hourly for spring and neap tides
  • Mercator projection for accurate spatial representation
  • High-resolution data, with finer details for complex areas like the Gulf of Morbihan
  • Essential for navigation, fishing, diving, regattas, and environmental studies
  • Durable paperback format, lightweight and easy to use onboard
  • Indefinite validity, ensuring long-term reliability

Master the Tides of Southern Brittany with Unrivaled Precision
Navigating the waters of Southern Brittany demands more than just skill—it requires accurate, up-to-date data on tidal currents. This tidal current atlas delivers just that, offering mariners a detailed and reliable resource for understanding the dynamic currents between Audierne and Le Croisic. Whether you're charting a course for commercial shipping, planning a regatta, or ensuring the safety of your crew, this atlas provides the critical information you need to navigate with confidence.

Engineered for Accuracy and Practicality
This atlas is the result of advanced hydrodynamic modeling, combining tidal data, bathymetry, and expert analysis to create a precise representation of tidal currents. Each of the four key sectors—Penmarc’h, Groix - Lorient, Quiberon Bay, and the Gulf of Morbihan—is covered by 12 hourly charts, allowing you to visualize current patterns at any stage of the tide. The Mercator projection ensures spatial accuracy, while the resolution varies from 50 meters in complex areas to 1 kilometer in open waters, providing the level of detail required for safe navigation.

Designed for Professionals and Enthusiasts Alike
From commercial mariners to recreational sailors, this atlas is an indispensable tool for anyone navigating Southern Brittany’s waters. It is particularly valuable for professionals involved in maritime transport, fishing, and environmental studies, offering data that supports projects like marine discharge planning and port development.
