Parking

Gruissan town with all facilities: restaurants, shops, accommodation, showers. Easy parking along the beach. 15 km from Narbonne.

Wind specificities

Tramontane (NW): offshore flat. Marin (SE): onshore waves, beachbreak. Massif de la Clape behind Gruissan can disturb Tramontane — gusty near town, better at Plage des Chalets or Vieille Nouvelle.

Hazards

Tramontane offshore — pushes towards open sea, expert only. Gusty, especially near shore. Shore break by Marin. Summer restrictions — kite zones regulated June-September. Chalets-on-stilts area — avoid.
