Spot Secret Hyères

Spot Secret is located on the eastern coast of a protected bay near Hyères, France, characterized by steep forested terrain meeting shallow, rock-studded waters. The bay opening faces east toward open Mediterranean water, with natural island formations and rocky outcrops creating a semi-enclosed setting. Water conditions are typically rough-chop rather than organized swell, reflecting the bay's protected nature and limited fetch. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that blow side-shore across the bay opening. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable navigating around obstacles in choppy water with variable wind. Significant hazards include submerged and exposed rocks throughout the shallow bay, small islands requiring careful navigation, and residential development restricting beach access. Low wind reliability (21.8%) and modest average wind speeds (8.8 knots) mean sessions depend on seasonal patterns. The site's protected nature makes it suitable during strong wind days when open ocean breaks become too severe.
