La Vielle Nouvelle is a lagoon-based kitesurfing spot located in the Gruissan area of southern France, situated within a protected coastal wetland system. The spot features shallow, enclosed water with extensive seagrass beds and natural vegetation visible in the surrounding marshland. The narrow navigable channels and shallow depth (typical of Mediterranean lagoons) make this suitable primarily for beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected conditions with minimal wave exposure. Wind reliability is moderate at 37.8%, with average winds around 11 knots and small average wave heights of 0.59m, indicating consistent but light conditions. The spot faces east toward the Mediterranean with relatively flat water typical of enclosed lagoon environments. Best wind approaches from the north, providing side-shore conditions along the main channel. Kiters should be aware of the shallow, vegetation-filled environment requiring careful navigation and awareness of underwater obstacles. Water temperatures average 16.5°C, suitable for wetsuits during cooler months. This spot is ideal for those seeking calm, protected practice conditions rather than challenging wave riding.
