Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Société des Régates d'Antibes

Known for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W 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 E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 63). 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). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best month is usually March, with about 2 good days in 7; in July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Antibes. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 3 wind sports spots.

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$1,120–US$2,140 each
