About This Spot
Prunete is a coastal beach break on the eastern shore of Corsica, France, facing northeast toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with extensive agricultural development inland, separated by a narrow strip of residential and commercial infrastructure. The waters show light-swell characteristics with minimal wave energy, making this primarily suitable for light-wind conditions. With a stated wind reliability of only 0.9%, this location experiences inconsistent wind patterns, with an average of 4.4 knots being insufficient for most kitesurfing sessions. Side-shore wind from the northwest (315°) would be optimal when conditions align. The shallow water near shore and proximity to residential areas make this better suited to beginners when adequate wind does occur. The spot requires patience given poor wind consistency, and kiters should be aware of potential drainage currents from inland agricultural areas. Summer months may offer slightly better wind frequency than the annual average suggests.
