Plage du Fozo faces NW, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow kite surfing wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 10 kn. Straight cross-shore is the classic kite surfing direction: it lets you hold a line along the beach rather than fighting to get back to it.
Over the published window Plage du Fozo clears 60/100 for kite surfing at every ability from Beginner to Expert — an unusually broad spot, which normally means a range of conditions rather than one narrow sweet spot. Today, 6 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 28 scored spots within reach today, Plage du Fozo is level with one other at the top for kite surfing — nothing nearby is scoring better, so pick on distance.
Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
A compact, exposed NW-facing sandy beach at the northern edge of the peninsula's wild coast — the last authorised bathing beach before prohibited cliffs to the south, backed by dunes near a fishing port. A beach break with left and right-handers, consistent but often flat in summer, best with southwest swell and northeast offshore wind; algae and rocks are noted near the shoreline. A rescue post operates in season; surf is best around high tide.
