Plage de Ouano Sud
France · Province Sud
What riders say
Be careful of the trees lining the launch area: check your trajectory before taking off and maintain good control of your kite.
The spot is completely windless with east winds: check the weather forecasts before heading out and avoid this wind direction.
At low tide, the reef gradually dries out and some areas become very shallow: stay aware of your position and the water depth under your feet.
The launching beach is reduced at high tide: organize your gear and preparation space well.
A wave spot exists at the reef but requires a boat to access: do not attempt to reach it by swimming.

Ouano beach, located on the west coast of New Caledonia near La Foa, is a versatile and accessible spot that attracts both beginners and experienced riders. Between Bouloupari and La Foa, this place offers an authentic natural setting with a long white sand beach, ideal for wild camping and relaxed kitesurfing sessions.
The spot is known for its varied conditions depending on the tide: a very flat water surface at low tide, perfect for freestyle and learning, and slightly choppy at high tide. It is a place where the sailing conditions change throughout the day, making it an interesting training ground for progression.
