Plage des Pesquiers
France · Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
The Pesquiers beach in Hyères, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, is a kitesurfing spot located near the Giens peninsula, facing the Port-Cros national park. It is a popular place for its easy access to the water and calm atmosphere, often used as a fallback when conditions are too strong at the nearby Almanarre.
Close to the Salins des Pesquiers area, this beach offers direct access to a large protected bay. Riders find a designated area in season to coexist with other sea users.
The spot is particularly suitable for East winds, with a smoother water surface that is well-suited for relaxed sessions.
Medie storiche per mese — non è una previsione live.
The Pesquiers beach works well with East or Southeast winds, which become side-on to onshore in this area, creating a choppy but less violent water surface than on exposed spots. The water entry is easy on a bottom of small pebbles then sand, with a designated launch area in season between the specific access points of the road to Sel, near accesses 16-21 to avoid conflicts with bathers and windsurfers.
Navigation occurs beyond 300 meters via the marked channels (like the Mérou channel or Almanarre), mandatory for experienced riders to reach the free zone. With West or Northwest winds, the spot is more agitated with waves, better for freeride, but East offers an ideal mirror for freestyle or progression. Be cautious in the summer season: a Beach Marshall monitors from June 15 to September 15 and enforces the zones.
The water surface varies little with the tides thanks to the wide bay, but stay in the corridors for safety. It is a good fallback spot for beginners in kite or wingfoil during summer thermals (12-20 knots in the afternoon), with shallow water and weak current.
