St-Prex - Plage du Coulet kitesurf spot
Switzerland · Vaud
Overview
Very small spot, somewhat enclosed, managed by the association L'amicale du Coulet. It's far from an easy spot but has good stats thanks to local thermals (More suitable for foilers).
If you want to get in the water there, it's essential to check with locals about how to proceed and we can only recommend becoming a member of the local association.
