About This Spot
Le Brusc is a protected bay located on the French Mediterranean coast near Toulon. The spot features a natural sandy bottom with rocky patches and a well-developed marina at the center. The bay is semi-enclosed with a northern orientation, providing natural wind funneling from the northeast and northwest directions. Water conditions are typically choppy with moderate fetch limitation due to the bay's enclosed nature. The spot suits intermediate kiters who are comfortable navigating around fixed obstacles and can manage variable wind conditions. The marina presence creates both a hazard and convenient reference point. Conditions are most consistent when Mediterranean wind patterns bring northwesterly flows. The area offers some protection from larger Atlantic swells, making it more suitable for choppy water practice than wave riding. Kiters should be aware of boat traffic, respect marina boundaries, and understand local tidal patterns. Low wind reliability (24.2%) means sessions are sporadic, typically occurring during spring and autumn wind events.
