Goisil

Goisil is a lagoon-based kitesurfing spot located on France's Atlantic coast near the Bay of Biscay. The area features extensive salt marshes and aquaculture operations separated from open water by protective dikes. The lagoon environment provides shallow, protected conditions ideal for beginners and those developing foundational skills. Water conditions are relatively calm with average waves of 1.48m, though wind reliability is low at 32.3%, suggesting inconsistent conditions. The surrounding agricultural and aquaculture development creates a complex landscape with multiple obstacles requiring careful navigation. Best winds approach from the east (90°), providing side-shore conditions relative to the north-facing coastline. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas, tidal exposure of mudflats, and dike infrastructure. The moderate water temperature (14.3°C) requires appropriate wetsuit protection. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking shallow-water practice with minimal swell, though wind consistency remains a limiting factor for regular sessions.
