Diamond Head

Diamond Head is a sheltered bay located on the Atlantic coast of France, characterized by a curved sandy beach with moderate fetch. The spot faces northwest into open water, with substantial residential and agricultural development immediately inland. The bay configuration provides natural wind acceleration and side-shore conditions during northeasterly winds. Water conditions are typically moderate with average waves around 1.6m, suitable for learning and early progression. The shallow approach and sandy bottom reduce hazard severity compared to reef breaks. Wind reliability at 43.4% suggests variable conditions requiring patience for consistent sessions. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to protected conditions and forgiving bottom. Key considerations include limited wind window, proximity to populated areas requiring awareness of other water users, and seasonal variation. Best conditions occur during spring and autumn when Atlantic wind patterns are more stable. Summer months may see lighter, less reliable winds.
