Kitesurfing at Montalivet
CHECKING WIND
Big wave spot
Intermediate
Montalivet is a lively Médoc beach resort with a broad sandy beach and reliable ocean wind. Westerly to north-westerly winds blow cross-onshore over Atlantic swell, offering waves and chop for freeriders and wave riders. The wide beach gives plenty of launching room, though the currents and shore break demand respect on bigger days.
Best wind directions: W, NW, SW
