About This Spot
Erbaggio is a Corsican beach break located on the western coast of the island, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by managed fields and vegetation, with rocky areas interspersed along the shoreline. This is a sheltered, user-friendly location suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking mellow conditions. The shallow, sandy bottom with gradual depth progression makes it ideal for learning and progression. Light swell (0.91m average) and low wind reliability (6.5%) mean sessions are weather-dependent and best during stronger wind periods. The beach is relatively protected, with moored boats indicating recreational use. Northerly winds provide the most consistent side-shore conditions for safe kitesurfing. Water temperature averaging 17.7°C requires a wetsuit outside peak summer. The spot suits kiters developing their skills in controlled conditions, though limited wind may require patience. Local farm access and nearby settlements indicate moderate development, so checking local regulations and respecting private land access is essential.
