Cargese Surf Guide

Cargese in Corsica is an exposed reef break that only works when conditions are just right. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast with some shelter here from northwest winds. Waves more likely to be from local windswells than distant groundswells and the ideal wave direction is from the west southwest. There is no reef break. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Take care of rocks in the line up.
