About This Spot
Beauduc, France is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in France.
Situated in Europe, the spot offers Shallow and Chop and Small waves water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With S–SW–W winds, peaking from April to October, Beauduc, France delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
If the mistral blows it's perfect here, you can't surf anywhere else but here. It's in a salt digging area. And everywhere it's flat. That makes the wind really good. Quite variable, but usually quite consistent, not too gusty. Best period for the wind: mid June to mid July: around 15 knots. The only offshore wind is East, for all other directions, you can find a place to ride (it's a closed, U-shaped bay). Beauduc is the place where the North wind blows the most, and 40 kts are quite normal.
When to Go
Nice and warm during summer, can be a bit cold during winter.
What to Expect
Typical Mediterranean, not too much waves. Fairly shallow, but does get over about six feet after about 100m off the beach. The Mediterranean doesn't have tides.
