Pierre and Friends

Pierre and Friends is a protected bay located on Lebanon's Mediterranean coast, facing northwest into relatively shallow waters. The spot sits within a densely developed coastal region characterized by residential buildings, infrastructure, and a main coastal highway running parallel to shore. The bay provides natural windbreak protection but limits open-water fetch, resulting in consistently small waves (0.66m average) suitable primarily for flat-water progression. Wind reliability is extremely low at 6.0%, making consistent sessions rare. The spot functions best as a beginner-friendly lagoon-style environment when conditions align, typically requiring northerly or southerly winds to achieve side-shore angles. Average temperatures around 21.5°C suggest temperate Mediterranean conditions year-round. This spot suits progression riders and beginners seeking protected water and minimal wave interference, though the low wind reliability and minimal swell make it unsuitable for riders seeking performance or wave-riding development. Local knowledge of specific seasonal patterns and tide management is essential. Nearby rocky structures and coastal infrastructure require careful navigation.
