Spot functioning

Address: 2b avenue Jean Lasserre, 30240 Le Grau-du-Roi (in front of the Seaquarium). Works mainly in W to NW. In N/NE the buildings create turbulence — very irregular wind. Breakwaters: flat playground but keep your distance. Flat area on the port side — many windsurfers. Offshore side: choppier/swellier. In N wind: possible downwind towards Plage Sud for more consistent conditions.

Parking near the Seaquarium, avenue Jean Lasserre. Easy access.

Wind specificities

West W: THE reference wind — flat protected behind the breakwaters, ideal for freestyle. NW (Tramontane): works well, flat behind the breakwaters. Pure W sessions are very rare but excellent! N/NE (Mistral): buildings upwind create turbulence — very irregular wind. Prefer Plage Sud (more consistent in N). SE/S/E: offshore or sheltered — no conditions here. Go to Espiguette.

Hazards

CLOSED FROM JUNE 1 TO SEPTEMBER 15 — prefectural beach zoning decree. Launch area long but narrow — sand fences downwind, be careful! Breakwaters: allow a flat playground but DO NOT get close to them. In N/NE: buildings upwind block the wind — very turbulent and irregular wind. Advanced level recommended — tricky launch, limited space.
