Weather specificities: Season normally from April to November. Wetsuit normally worn off season and in summer months shorty or even sometimes boardies and rash vest.

Wind type: Thermal

Wind specificities: The wind is well known in the area with a big history of windsurfing and kitesurfing becoming just as popular. Normal wind direction is the Tramontane (offshore). When the Tramontane is not blowing, the onshore winds kicks in. In the afternoon when the onshore is blowing it gets a thermal boost and increases in strength and turns more turns sideshore. In Tramontane bring small kites and in onshore 12+ sqm. The Languedoc-Roussillon is said to catch 250 days of wind a year. The prevailing wind in the area is the northwesterly Tramontane, blowing anything from a force 4 to a force 8. The warm, dry Tramontane winds are said to blow for three, six or nine days and sweep the skies clear of any clouds bringing lots of sunshine. Other wind directions that are often felt are the Marin (East) and the Vent d'Espagne (Southeast). These winds although not as strong as the Tramontane gives us plenty of air to go out on the sea and can even get boosted by local thermal effects.

Best months: April, May, June, July, August, September, October
