modelled
A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.
Wind on the beach
- The shoreline here runs north-west to south-east and the beach faces roughly south-west, out into the Bassin.
- SW is straight onshore.
- W and S are side-onshore.
- NW blows along the beach away from the port, and SE blows along it the other way, down toward the Andernos dike and the channel posts, which is the reason SE is the one to leave alone.
- E and NE are offshore.
- Orientation taken off the shoreline geometry, not from a posted local rule.
What the spot record warns about
- SE wind pushes toward the digue and channel posts
- Many moored boats within 100 m from March to October
- Reduced launch at high tide
- SE wind pushes toward the digue and channel posts.
- Many moored boats lie within 100 m of shore from March to October.
- High tide can leave a very small launch with trees nearby.
