Hazards

Choppy ocean conditions with strong Atlantic swell, especially during windy sessionsRocky outcrops and reef areas near the beach requiring careful launch and landing zonesStrong rip currents common along this coastal stretch; always scout conditions before entering waterSudden wind shifts from multiple directions (NNW to SE) can catch riders off-guard

Launch notes

Launch from the sandy sections of Aglou Plage, avoiding rocky areas on either side. The choppy ocean requires a confident entry; walk your board out and launch from waist-deep water to manage the swell effectively.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the moderate 11.4kt average wind; dual-quiver of 15m and 12m covers most conditions. A freestyle or all-around board works well, but consider a slightly larger volume for chop management and easier upwind performance.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is adequate during the best months (March-April) when water temps are cooler; consider booties for rocky areas and sharp reefs. Sunscreen and a rash guard provide essential sun protection.

Crowd & etiquette

This is a relatively quiet spot—respect any local fishermen and swimmers, and stay well clear of populated bathing areas. Keep your launch/landing zone organized to avoid conflicts with other water users.

Additional notes

March and April offer the most consistent wind with 57 windy days annually concentrated around these months. Check local wind patterns carefully as WSW and SE winds can create cross-shore or on-shore conditions affecting safety.
