About This Spot
Tizzano is a sheltered bay located on the southwestern coast of Corsica, France, facing southwest into the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense forest and moderate elevation terrain that creates wind shadow effects. The bay's protected configuration provides calm water conditions suitable for beginners, but this comes at the cost of very limited wind exposure and minimal wave development. Average wind of only 5.3 knots with just 3.4% reliability indicates this is a marginal kitesurfing location that will see frequent flat-wind days. Small average wave heights (0.96m) reflect the sheltered bay environment. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds that can reach the bay as side-shore wind. This spot suits only beginner-level kiters seeking extremely mellow, forgiving conditions with minimal consequence for mistakes. The shallow, rocky shoreline and forest backdrop require careful navigation. Local fire activity and smoke may affect conditions seasonally.
