Wind specificities

Best winds from West to North-West, offering more consistent conditions than other Île-de-France lakes in these directions. North-East is possible but requires power. Avoid East to South sectors — very gusty and unpredictable.

Hazards

Kite use may be restricted or prohibited on certain lakes — check current regulations on-site. Wind can be gusty near shores due to surrounding vegetation. Watch for other water users (sailboats, paddlers, swimmers).
