Aléria

Aléria is a coastal beach break located on eastern Corsica where an agricultural river meets the Mediterranean. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with a river mouth creating dynamic sediment patterns visible from above. The coastline faces northeast toward open water, making northwest winds ideal for side-shore conditions. The beach offers protected conditions compared to fully exposed Mediterranean breaks, with minimal swell and light wind conditions typical of this location. The shallow, sandy bottom and wide beach make it suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters. However, the river mouth creates variable currents and water conditions that change with seasonal flow. The agricultural fields adjacent to the coast indicate potential water quality variations. The rocky structure visible on the southern section requires awareness during session planning. Low wind reliability (1.2%) and minimal wave energy (0.45m average) suggest this spot is best suited for light-wind sessions and flat-water freestyle practice rather than wave riding.
