About This Spot
Corbu is a beach break spot located on Romania's Black Sea coast, situated along a narrow strip of land between cultivated agricultural fields and the sea. The coastline faces northeast toward the water, with dense vegetation and residential structures inland limiting the launch area. This spot is characterized by very light and unreliable wind conditions (average 7 knots with only 7.5% reliability), making consistent sessions difficult to find. Water conditions are typically choppy with small waves averaging 0.66m. The shallow nearshore area and presence of vegetation create a confined launch environment suitable primarily for beginners when conditions do cooperate. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°) for side-shore conditions. The spot's limited fetch and protected nature result in minimal wave development, emphasizing flat-water skill practice over wave riding. Water temperature averaging 14°C requires appropriate thermal protection. This location suits beginner kiters seeking light-wind practice in a sheltered environment, though the low wind reliability means sessions are infrequent.
