L'Espiguette

Occitanie & Pyrénées-Méditerranée

Auszug aus dem KITE AND WINDSURFING GUIDE:

The region’s only official summertime kite zone offers all the space you could wish for in a 5km area. Kites launch between the two Red Cross huts on this popular nudist beach. Summer usually provides a south-westerly thermal from early afternoon that often reaches Force 5. It fans the whole Rhône estuary pretty reliably, but is usually about five knots stronger here. L'Espiguette is ideal in north-westerly Tramontane, whereas 'Plage Sud' is better in northerly Mistral. South to south-easterly low-pressure wind creates small waves, although the currents get especially strong if the Rhône's in full flow after heavy rain. Another option is the sandbar off 'Pointe de l’Espiguette'. Drawbacks include a 500m trek to the water across a wide beach; plus it’s paid parking in summer.
