La Bergerie Hyères

La Bergerie is a bay-side kitesurfing location near Hyères on France's Mediterranean coast. The spot faces east toward deeper water, with the town and residential areas backing the shore to the west. The bay provides some protection from open ocean swell, creating mild wave conditions averaging under 1 meter. The western side features shallow flats and muddy areas suitable for learning, while the deeper eastern channel experiences stronger conditions. Wind reliability is modest at 27.3%, with average winds around 10 knots and temperatures near 17°C. Best wind approaches from the north or south, providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected bay conditions with manageable water dynamics. Key considerations include variable tidal effects, shallow launch areas on the western flats, and monitoring boat traffic in the main channel. Water conditions tend toward rough chop rather than organized swell patterns.
