Le Verdon-sur-Mer

The beach is oriented west, making it ideal for a side-on or side-shore wind coming from the NW or W, perfect for regular traction without too much drift. In N or SW wind, it also works well in light onshore. The thermal picks up around noon, often shifting from the cool morning to a stronger NW in the afternoon.

The water surface varies with the tides: at low tide, pools form with a flat bottom for tricks, but be cautious of shallow areas. At high tide, the water rises and the spot opens wider, with possible shorebreak near the shore. Launching is done directly from the wide sandy beach, which has no major obstacles. The launch area is spacious to the north of the beach, away from bathers.

Sailing is recommended to the north for cleaner wind and to avoid fishing areas or the port channel to the south. In summer, respect reserved zones and the upwind channel to reach the kite area without disturbing beachgoers. The spot is accessible year-round, but check the signs on-site for seasonal rules.
