Bormes-les-Mimosas

Cabasson beach is southeast-facing, making it a perfect spot for the mistral blowing from the northwest in side-on or side-shore conditions, allowing for dynamic sessions on a water state often chop with regular waves. The navigation area is wide, without strict marking like at Almanarre, but you must stay offshore to avoid bathers in summer. Launching is simple on the fine sand, with a good take-off area on the beach itself, protected by the dunes from the prevailing wind.

The water state varies little with the tides in the Mediterranean, remaining navigable at all times, but be cautious of waves that form under strong mistral, ideal for wave riding but technical. The best runs are made towards the open sea in the direction of Pointe de Bregançon, with an easy return thanks to the side-on wind. In summer, the area is prohibited for sliding activities for safety reasons, so prefer spring and autumn for sessions without crowds.

Local peculiarity: the spot is tolerated all year round outside the strict summer season, check with the tourist office for precise dates. No dedicated school on site, but nearby clubs like in La Londe offer courses and equipment.
