Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling at L'Almanarre (Hyères)

Within 300 m, all year, you may only kite via the buoyed kite zone and the PNT lane on the Route du Sel; wing is allowed perpendicular to the shore at 5 knots maximum, but not in the kite lane. Source: AM Hyères 2026-1420 art. 6 and 7.

Wind directions & safety

The open water at L'Almanarre (Hyères) faces W (279°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).

On this page you'll find the live wind, the hourly forecast and a personal go/no-go for L'Almanarre (Hyères), plus your ideal kite or wing size, nearby parking and (where available) a live beach webcam. Wind data: AROME and HARMONIE via Open-Meteo.
