Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

The East Beach mainly works with winds from the south, southwest, or southeast, which are side-on or onshore relative to the east-facing beach. The water entry is directly from the sand, with a wide take-off area and no obstacles for about 300 meters. The navigation area extends offshore where the water is deeper, ideal for foiling if you move away from the shore. In the afternoon thermal, the wind is steady and side-onshore, perfect for freeride or wave sessions. However, be careful, kite surfing is prohibited on the central beach of the town all year round, so make sure to stay on the East Beach. Tides have little impact in the Mediterranean, but the water surface varies: flat to choppy with north mistral, more wavy with south or east winds with nice waves in spring.
