Maguelone, Palavas-les-Flots
Occitanie & Pyrénées-Méditerranée
Auszug aus dem KITE AND WINDSURFING GUIDE:
The best way into the water at Palavas-les-Flots is 'Rive Droite' to the west of the breakwaters. In a south-easterly (cross-on from the left), bigger, cleaner, more powerful waves hit this beach than 'La Grande Motte' – just be careful, as you won’t have much room downwind. There’s often well-formed, risk-free swell further out. Slalom and speed freaks get their kicks in offshore Tramontane; south-westerly thermals also bring flat-water conditions. In high season you can escape the kite ban at the long section of beach at 'Maguelone', although it’s about a 500m walk to the kite zone.
