About This Spot
Fréjus Plage is a sheltered bay located on the French Riviera, facing southeast toward the Mediterranean. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach bordered by urban development to the north and pine-forested headlands to the south. A significant marina complex occupies the northern section, creating both a visual landmark and a hazard zone. The water conditions are typically light, with average wave heights around 0.5m and minimal swell exposure. The bay's enclosed geography provides protection but limits wind consistency, reflected in the 12.7% reliability rating. Average wind speeds of 7.4 knots are marginal for kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore conditions. This spot suits beginners and intermediates seeking calm, protected water with minimal wave power. Kiters should exercise caution around boat traffic, respect the swimmers on the main beach, and be aware of the shallow foreshore. Wind windows are narrow due to surrounding terrain and coastal development.
