Description
Level: Intermediate, Expert
Type: Lake
Water type: Shallow, Chop, Small wave, Medium wave
Infos: This is THE wave spot of the Etang with strong Tramontane and enough West in it. Experienced riders only.
Infos: Small access.
Weather specificities: Nice temperatures, air and water. During winter wetsuit is needed. It is in the South of France so expect nice weather.
Wind specificities: The dominant wind is the Tramontane, no other wind has really a chance against it. It is a wind which blows from Northwest. This wind is created by an anticyclone over the south west of France and a depression over the Mediterranean. When the Tramontane blows it normally blows very strong. Statistics say that there are 300 days a year with a wind over force four. The other wind direction is the Marin which blows from SE, but not good for this spot. Best if a bit more West than North.
Access description: by Car - From Barcars: RD 83, towards Leucate. Then drive west on Avenue de Ille de la Coudalere until you hit the water.
