Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from Kiteforum.com's Gabon spot pages (user-contributed). Except at Palplanche, no wind direction or season is recorded, so the wind sectors are based on the coast's prevailing south-westerly breeze and need local confirmation. No kite school or rental is documented in the country. The water table is a seasonal Gulf of Guinea estimate.
Local hazards
- Wave breaker / seawall structure
- Big waves on some days
