Sanguinet Lac de Cazaux et de Sanguinet

Sanguinet is a recreational lake spot located in southwestern France, part of the Cazaux-Sanguinet lake system. The lake's northeast-facing shoreline provides moderate protection from open water exposure. This is a sheltered freshwater lake environment suitable primarily for beginners and lighter-wind sessions due to limited fetch distance and generally modest wind conditions (5.1 knots average). The nearby marina and residential areas indicate moderate boat traffic, particularly on weekends. Water conditions are typically manageable with 1.6m average waves, though these are lake-generated rather than ocean swell. The spot works best with northwesterly winds (315°) that provide side-shore conditions. Kiters should expect variable wind patterns due to surrounding forest and developed terrain. The shallow lake bed requires awareness of water depth, particularly near shore. This spot is best suited for skill development and light-wind training rather than progression or high-performance sessions. Access appears available from developed areas along the eastern shore.
