Wind specificities
West is the prime direction — clean, consistent wind with nice waves. The rare SW gives flat water and strong wind. When NW shifts toward North in the late afternoon, the wind becomes very gusty with lulls — pack up and head to Port Camargue (15 min). Strictly avoid N, NE, E and SE which are turbulent and push offshore.
Hazards
Rocky groynes along the beach — do not drift into them in strong Tramontane. Prefer the left (south) side of the beach. Late in the day, NW wind can shift to N and become turbulent or die completely — be prepared. 2m height restriction for vehicle access. Swimmers present in summer.
