Spot de Grau du Roi - Plage Sud

Grau du Roi - Plage Sud kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

France · Occitanie

43.51 | 4.12

Overview

Very good spot that offers a multitude of conditions: flat water near the jetties (beginners: make sure to keep your distance for safety), swell offshore, and some waves when heading towards l'espiguette. 
  
The spot is often frequented with kites, wings and boards but you just need to move away a bit to have some space (as usual, right?)
The water remains pleasant even with 45 knots.
