Nouveau Cimetière (Corsica)

Nouveau Cimetière is described as a point-break in the Ajaccio area with a right-hand wave. Surf quality depends heavily on swell wrapping into the bay, so conditions are most favorable when there is enough West or Southwest swell to make the point work. For wind, north to northeast winds are reported as offshore and help groom the wave face. The spot’s wind is also described as gradient-like and relatively unreliable, so on-the-day assessment is important before committing. The main safety consideration is the landing and entry area: it is rocky and sea urchins are reported as a hazard. Booties are strongly recommended to reduce the risk of injury during entry and exit. Rescue/lifeguards are not indicated for the spot, and a hospital in central Ajaccio is referenced as the nearest emergency option. Seasonally, the most consistent surfing is reported in autumn and winter, and the spot is described as rarely crowded even when the surf is up. Wetsuit guidance points toward a spring wetsuit, with additional month-by-month temperature expectations supporting thicker winter protection if surfing during colder months.
