Overview

Aytré is a kitesurf spot near La Rochelle (Charente-Maritime), very close to the Aytré Beach spot. A weather station (Aytré Beach) is linked to this spot. The beach catches South-West and North-West winds. No kitesurfing at low tide (mudflats exposed). Footwear essential due to shells and mud.

Tidal spot — usable only around high tide. In summer strictly respect the designated zones away from swimmer areas. See also the neighbouring Aytré Beach spot (ID 1151) for full FFVL zone details and local association info (aytrekite17.com).
