About This Spot
Anghione is located on the eastern coast of Corsica, France, facing northeast into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The spot sits within a protected bay characterized by sandy beach access with shallow waters gradually deepening offshore. The surrounding area features dense residential and agricultural development, limiting the effective riding area to a relatively narrow corridor. Water conditions are typically gentle with light swell penetration due to the bay's sheltered nature. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (310-340°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. The spot is most suitable for beginners and early-intermediate kiters seeking calm water practice, given the limited wave energy and protected bay environment. However, the narrow riding zone between shallow waters and developed land areas requires careful space management. The area's very low wind reliability (0.5%) and modest average wind speeds (4.2 knots) indicate this is a marginal location that requires patience and seasonal timing for consistent sessions. Local geography and infrastructure constraints make this better suited for light-wind technique development rather than progression in wave riding.
