Côte Sauvage is a natural beach break located on the Atlantic coast of France, facing northwest toward open ocean. The spot features a wide sandy beach backed by dense pine forest, with visible sandbars creating variable bathymetry. The coastline trends northeast-southwest, making northeast winds ideal for side-shore conditions. This is a beginner-friendly location with small average waves (1.25m) and predominantly gentle conditions. However, wind reliability is notably low at 22.1%, meaning consistent kitesurfing sessions are infrequent. Water temperatures average 14.4°C, requiring thermal protection. The spot suits riders developing fundamental skills in a forgiving environment with predictable sand bottom conditions. Key considerations include understanding local tide cycles, monitoring the shallow sandbars near shore, and checking weather forecasts given the inconsistent wind patterns. The surrounding forest provides some wind funneling benefits during favorable pressure systems.
