Overview

Claouey is a kitesurf spot on the Cap-Ferret peninsula, inside the Bassin d'Arcachon. The sheltered bay offers flat water conditions ideal for learning and foiling. The spot benefits from the northwest and west thermal winds that blow across the Bassin in summer. Excellent for beginner to intermediate progression in flat water.
