Plage de Ciboure
France · Nouvelle-Aquitaine
The beach of Ciboure, located in the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, offers a popular kitesurfing spot for its windy conditions and local atmosphere. Nestled in the southwest of the bay, it is sheltered from swells and is well-suited for sessions in strong weather.
It is an authentic place in the Basque Country, with a view of the coast and various water activities around. Riders come here for the steady wind and the proximity to Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
The spot is especially attractive in extreme good weather, with a dedicated area that allows for navigation without too many worries.

The beach of Ciboure faces west in the bay, making it ideal for side-on winds from the northwest or side-shore from the southwest. The water surface is generally flat to chop thanks to the bay's protection against ocean swells, but it can become choppy at low tide when the water recedes.
Launching is done directly from the fine sand, with a wide take-off area on the southwest beach near Socoa. The navigation area extends about 1 km in the bay, while remaining vigilant about the limits to avoid swimmers in summer. With winds from west to north, it is perfect for freestyle or discovery, with a safe space for beginners.
Be cautious of the tides: at high tide, the water surface is wider and flat; at low tide, you need to navigate close to the shore to avoid dry areas. Sessions work well from mid-tide to high tide, with a local thermal that strengthens the wind in the afternoon during summer.
