About the spot

Algajola on the Balagne coast is primarily a wave spot for experienced riders. Westerly, southwesterly and northeasterly weather can bring wind and swell to long Aregno beach. Strong shorebreak demands a secure entry and controlled landing.

Summer crowds mean the wide beach is not a reliably available launch. Check current swimming and water-sport zones locally. Rocky margins and building waves raise the difficulty. The spot is unsuitable for beginners without appropriate professional supervision; avoid offshore conditions.
