Kitesurf and windsurf spot on Lac de Naussac (48), a 700 ha reservoir lake near Langogne in the Lozère (Massif Central), at 1,000 m altitude. The lake is 7 km long by 3 km wide and fills in late winter/spring, then empties progressively from mid-summer. Two main launch zones: the south beach (left of the nautical base) for south wind — flat water, ideal launch; and the south-west beach opposite, for north-west wind. Facebook community: "Kitesurf au lac de Naussac (48)". Camping adjacent to the base. FFVL-labelled spot.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Two dominant directions: South (most frequent) — strong but gusty, builds from midday in fair weather, very flat water in front of the dyke; and North-West (rarer but steadier) — rolls cleanly down the full length of the lake, slight chop possible. In fine weather, afternoon thermals can build a beautiful NW. North-East is unreliable and unpredictable — avoid. Long tacks, bring a harness!
Watch for swimmers in summer near the nautical base. Do not drift into the wooded nature reserve zone at the lake's edges. Lake level drops progressively from mid-summer through autumn — check navigable depth. North-East wind gives very inconsistent and unpredictable conditions — avoid.
