About This Spot
Brégançon is a sheltered bay located on the French Riviera coast near Bormes-les-Mimosas. The spot features a northwest-facing shoreline with turquoise, shallow waters typical of Mediterranean bays. The area combines rocky coastal features with sandy beaches and is backed by Mediterranean vegetation and residential development. The bay provides some wind acceleration from the northwest, though the sheltered geography limits consistent conditions. Wind reliability is low at 14.6%, with average winds around 7.7 knots, suggesting this spot works best during stronger weather windows. The shallow bay waters and rocky features require good local knowledge to navigate safely. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable conditions and light wind techniques. The small fetch and surrounding terrain create uneven wind distribution across the bay. Access may be limited due to private property and residential areas. Best conditions typically occur with northwesterly winds that funnel into the bay.
