Risks & Safety

  • In summer, from the start of swimming supervision, kitesurfing is prohibited before 7 PM except in the Super-South area reserved for kitesurfing and the Super-North after the 'bees' sign.

  • With North wind, a wind shadow area may form at the takeoff beach; it is then preferable to land and take off from the inner water.

  • The spot works ideally at high tide; at low tide, conditions change and navigation becomes more technical with shallower areas.

  • Be careful of stronger currents near the estuary channel.

Le Verdon-sur-Mer

The Chambrette beach, located in Verdon-sur-Mer at the tip of Médoc, is a small bay on the Gironde estuary. It is a well-oriented spot that mainly works with East to Northeast winds, offering interesting conditions for kiters looking for a flat and sheltered water surface.

Unlike the ocean beaches of Verdon, Chambrette faces the estuary with calm waters and few waves, making it a favored place for progression. The presence of a dike allows for the use of a well-protected area from the wind, and the muddy bottom helps maintain a smooth water surface even with wind. It is a less crowded spot with a sandy beach for takeoff and amenities nearby.
