Wind on the beach

offshore

What the spot record warns about

strong, gusty Tramontane can build quicklyDominant Tramontane/Cers is offshore on the main flat-water setup and can push riders out to sea.
competition events bring high rider density on certain days
Wind can gain 10+ kt between Gruissan and Port-la-Nouvelle, so riders end up overpowered at the downwind end.
Venturi acceleration near the Ayrolle mouth can make the wind very strong.
Wind at Plage des Chalets can be unstable because of buildings before it steadies toward Vieille Nouvelle.
