Overview

Kitesurf

Another spot that is not FFVL certified, so theoretically not accessible for kitesurfing... In the middle of winter, it might be tolerated, but it remains more of a wingfoil spot with nice swells that come in well and break quite nicely!!

It can even be surfable on some winter days when there's an easterly swell.

Wind specificities

The wind comes in well with East or South/East trends, fairly clean depending on where you are. The beach is quite long; in the center, it's lined with buildings that can cause some turbulence...

Hazards

Beach is not very wide but quite long, avoid launching too close to buildings or the harbor... It remains a much more pleasant spot for wingfoil, in which case the only potential dangers are the waves and sometimes the breakwaters
