Capbreton

Capbreton is a developed beach break located on France's Atlantic coast in the Landes region, facing southwest toward open ocean. The spot features sandy beaches protected by multiple groin structures and jetties that extend into the water, creating a modified coastal environment. The presence of marinas and significant residential development indicates this is an established tourist and residential area with organized water access. Conditions are best with southeasterly to southerly winds that provide side-shore to side-onshore approaches. Average wind reliability is low at 11.9%, suggesting inconsistent conditions throughout the year. Wave heights average 1.65m with rough water conditions typical of Atlantic exposure. The constructed jetties and groins provide some shelter but create localized current patterns and water disturbance that intermediate kiters should understand. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with navigating around coastal structures. Beginner progression would be limited by the inconsistent wind and complex water patterns created by the infrastructure.
