Plage de Mayotte
France · Nouvelle-Aquitaine
The beach of Mayotte, located on the northern lake of Biscarrosse in the Landes, is surrounded by pine trees and offers a calm setting for kitesurfing. It is a popular spot for schools due to its freshwater and easy access from the camping parking lot. Riders come here for the relaxed atmosphere and the proximity to the Landes forest.
Open mainly from April to October, it attracts beginners and intermediates thanks to its stable water surface. In summer, a dedicated kite area is marked, and the H2O school offers courses throughout the season.
Surrounded by greenery, the beach remains peaceful even in strong winds, with clear water inviting long navigation.
Medie storiche per mese — non è una previsione live.
The spot works well with winds from southwest, west, northwest, and west-north, often side-on or side-shore relative to the north-south oriented beach, allowing for stable sessions without too much drift. The freshwater of the lake remains flat with no waves or tide, ideal for progressing in freestyle or foil. The navigation area is marked by yellow buoys, especially in summer; avoid the northern cove prohibited for kiting.
Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, with a narrow launch area: prefer to launch in the water for more safety. For the foil, walk 10 minutes in shallow water before finding enough depth. Go well upwind as the port channel is downwind to the right, and the small sandbank quickly causes loss of footing. During the summer period from June 1 to August 31, the spot is reserved for kitesurfing in a dedicated area.
