About This Spot
Capo di Feno is a northwest-facing beach break located on Corsica's western coast. The spot features a long sandy beach with gradual shallows extending into the Mediterranean. Protected by forested headlands to the north and south, the bay receives light swell with average wave heights around 0.89m, limiting wave-riding opportunities. The primary appeal is flatwater conditions suitable for light-wind practice and foiling. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) provide the optimal angle for consistent kitesurfing sessions. Average wind speed of 4.8 knots combined with very low reliability (2.6%) means sessions are infrequent and require careful weather planning. The spot suits beginners and flat-water specialists seeking low-consequence practice areas. Key considerations include the shallow water extending far offshore, which restricts maneuvers and requires careful edge control, and scattered rocky areas requiring navigation awareness. Best visited during seasonal wind patterns to maximize limited wind availability.
Hazards & Safety
Sandy beach with gradual slope - strong shorebreak potential
Shallow water extending far offshore - limited depth for tricks
Rocky outcrops visible in water - avoid northern zone
Light swell conditions - minimal wave support for progression
Low wind reliability (2.6%) - sessions require specific weather windows
