About Spot de Kitesurf de Saint-Laurent Du Var

Known for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces S, so wind from the N blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 8). The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Nice. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,110–US$2,120 each

about US$1,110–US$2,120 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, taxi, stay, food.

Our estimate from typical public prices, not a quote: check the real prices before you book (where they come from). Prices are about, in US Dollar (USD): our pound figures at the European Central Bank's rate of 30 October 2026.
