Overview

Canet-Plage Nord — North part of Canet-en-Roussillon beach, towards Sainte-Marie-la-Mer. Wide sandy beach. Less structured than Canet-Plage Sud for kite, but works with the same winds.

Same exceptional SE thermal regime as Canet Sud. The thermal enters well here from the south, building in the afternoon. Less crowded than the southern spots. By Tramontane: same offshore risk as all Canet spots.

Good option when Canet Sud or Pont des Basses are too crowded. Centre d'entraînement olympique Europa (Olympic pool) nearby.

Spot currently open :-)

Parking

Parking along the promenade north of Canet. Less crowded than southern spots.

Hazards

Tramontane offshore: extremely strong and gusty, pushes to sea. Not recommended without safety boat. Digue: waves build against breakwater — keep distance. Summer crowds: heavily touristic area, many swimmers. Ganivelles: wooden posts, careful when handling kites.

Wind specificities

Thermal S/SE: same exceptional Canet regime. Builds afternoon, 15-20 kts typical, up to 25-30 kts. Tramontane NW: offshore, dangerous. Same advice as Canet Sud — fall back to étang de Salses by Tramontane.
