Calenzana

The beach of Argentella mainly works with a westerly to northwesterly wind, which often gives a ride of type side-on to side-shore depending on the exact angle. According to local feedback and sources on site, it is a spot that remains especially interesting with established wind, as the bay is open and exposed. The navigation area is offshore from the beach, with a possible launch from the shore on the most clear part of the coastline.

The water surface is generally cleaner when the swell is low to moderate, but it can become more choppy if the wind strengthens. The bottom is mainly composed of pebbles, with a depth that increases quite quickly outside the edge. Launching therefore requires a bit of attention, especially due to the uncomfortable terrain underfoot and the sometimes irregular space for takeoff. It is not a lagoon or perfect flat spot, but rather a coastal navigation, with a fairly simple working area if the sea remains organized.

In summer, the spot is more sensitive to traffic and beach configuration, but it retains the advantage of being less crowded than the most well-known bays in Corsica. Navigation is better with a kite suited to strong winds and with space to land without pressure. When the sea picks up a bit, the chop becomes more present and launching can be less comfortable for beginners.
