Especially the coast between Cargese and Propriano has plenty of surfing potential. A succession of peninsulas, capes and bays, cliffs, reefs and beaches offers an abundance of possibilities. Surf checks still are no easy task though, driving on small windy roads takes its time and – like in the whole med – most beaches only offer close-out shore breaks as the lack of tides prevent the building of sandbars.
But the lack of quality of the beach breaks gets balanced by the abundance of reefs, with some of them producing very good waves when conditions come together. But most of the times the wind systems which create the swell are too close to Corsica, blowing from the same direction and thus being onshore and messing the waves on the exposed reefs.
Finding a bay that has some protection from the wind while still catching enough swell is a difficult task. So local knowledge definitely is an advantage but at least conditions do not change much during the day (this is the good effect of the non-existent tides) which means one variable less to take into consideration.
