Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Aytré beach is oriented west-southwest, making it ideal for side-on or side-shore winds coming from the southwest or west, with currents in the Atlantic. The water surface generally remains calm due to the shallow water where you can stand everywhere, perfect for launching and riding. The launch area is directly from the wide beach, with a clear navigation area in front of the spot. At low tide, the sandy bottom is exposed in places, creating a stable space for beginners. Sessions take place from March to October, with flexibility on wind orientation thanks to the beach configuration. Be cautious on days with strong onshore winds that can make the water surface choppier near the shore.
