Overview

Kitesurf

Villefranche-sur-Mer / Cap Ferrat area — FFVL-approved kitesurf spot on the Côte d'Azur east of Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). This spot is located in the sheltered bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, one of the deepest natural harbours on the Mediterranean. Winds from the East and South-East are ideal, blowing from the open sea into the bay.

Mediterranean spot — typically flat water in the sheltered bay. The Côte d'Azur has a strong summer thermal regime. Busy maritime zone near Nice airport and Monaco — stay attentive to navigation rules. Mistral (NW) creates gusty and dangerous conditions here. Contact the local FFVL club for current zone regulations before riding.
