When is kitesurfing at Leucate (Les Coussoules) dangerous?

With the wind from the west, it blows offshore at Leucate (Les Coussoules): you get pushed off the beach onto open water and can't get back if something goes wrong. Offshore wind is always a no-go, however hard it blows. kitesurfing is a no-go in the dark, too.

Which spots are near Leucate (Les Coussoules)?

The nearest spots are Le Barcarès (Les Dosses) (14 km), Gruissan (Vieille Nouvelle) (17 km), Maguelone (Cathédrale) (93 km). If the wind is wrong at Leucate (Les Coussoules), one of these is often safe to ride.

Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling at Leucate (Les Coussoules)

During the bathing season, while the buoys are in place, within 300 m you may only kite in the Coussoules kite zone (zone S, northern beach by the old lifeguard post); wing belongs in the windsurf zone north of it. Outside the lifeguarded swimming zones, kite and wing are allowed. Outside kite zones and kite lanes, a 5-knot speed limit applies within 300 m of the shoreline. Source: PREMAR 162/2023 annex VI, AM Leucate 2025/DGS/012/6.4 art. 7.

Wind directions & safety

The open water at Leucate (Les Coussoules) faces E (100°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are northeast, east and southeast (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, south, southwest and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the west, 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 Leucate (Les Coussoules), plus your ideal kite or wing size, nearby parking and (where available) a live beach webcam. Wind data: AROME and HARMONIE via Open-Meteo.
