Marin (SE/SSE/S): THE wind for this spot. Onshore, nice waves, enjoyable conditions. Spot de vagues sympa with paillote to relax after. Tramontane (NW): offshore — avoid, go to étang spots instead.

Tramontane offshore: strong NW pushes rapidly out to sea — not recommended. Summer crowds: near Aqualand, very touristic, many swimmers. SE fort: big waves build. Shore break possible.
