Gruissan – Plage des Chalets is an iconic spot in the south of France, known worldwide thanks to the Défi Kite and Défi Wind. This mythical beach stretches out facing the Mediterranean Sea, with a perfect orientation for the Tramontane. The atmosphere is typically “wind and glide”: sand, strong wind, and passionate riders. You ride in front of the famous stilt chalets, in a unique setting between sea and mountains. It is a versatile, powerful, and inspiring spot.
The Tramontane (NW) wind blows side-offshore at Plage des Chalets, making the spot technical but with incredible purity. The water is flat to choppy depending on wind strength, and the launch area is wide. Experienced riders appreciate the speed and quality of the laminar wind. With sea wind (E/SE), the spot becomes wave with small waves perfect for surfkiting. It is a complete playground, accessible all year round.
