Loutsa

At Als à Loutsa, the most interesting wind generally comes from north to northeast, which often gives a side-on to onshore wind depending on the exact angle of the day. When the flow is well established, navigation remains easy to read, with a straightforward return to the beach and a clear working area in front of the shore. The spot is especially enjoyable when the wind is steady and the sea is not too formed.

The water surface heavily depends on the swell and tides, but it usually remains between flat and choppy, with sometimes a small short wave if the wind strengthens. Launching is done from the beach, with a launch area that requires staying organized, especially on busy days. One must keep space around oneself, as the area is well-known and can quickly attract crowds, particularly in high season.

Navigation is ideally done offshore from the immediate shore to leave space for the departures and returns of other riders. The spot is suitable for classic freeride sessions, with generally easy water surface reading for an autonomous practitioner. However, in strong wind or cross seas, the chop can become more present and make the return leg more physical.
