Spot de St-Prex - Plage du Coulet

St-Prex - Plage du Coulet kitesurf spot

Switzerland · Vaud

46.47 | 6.45

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.
