Île de Noirmoutier, Pays de la Loire
Noirmoutier’s windsurfing spot offers freeride or easy wave conditions, depending on wind, swell and tide. Catch the waves on the top half of the tide, as at low tide they’re blocked by the 'Les Boeufs’ shallows. As is often the case, the waves are cleaner on an ebb tide. At high water, the narrow beach makes it difficult to launch a kite. Parking is height-restricted.
