Pont des Basses Canet-Plage

Pont des Basses is a narrow beach break located along the Mediterranean coast of Canet-Plage in southern France. The spot features a northeast-facing shoreline with a thin sandy beach sandwiched between dense pine forest and shallow lagoon waters. A prominent breakwater structure extends into the water, creating defined zones for launching and landing. The protected lagoon environment generates choppy rather than swell-driven conditions, making this primarily a wind-dependent spot. With average winds of 8.9 knots and low reliability (23.3%), conditions are inconsistent. The shallow water and marshy terrain require careful navigation and limit safe riding areas. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds providing side-shore flow. Low wave height (0.67m average) and calm water conditions suit beginners and those practicing light-wind technique. The narrow beach access and proximity to vegetation demand compact equipment management. This spot works best during higher wind periods when the lagoon develops rideable texture.
