Wind on the beach

West, the dominant wind, blows straight offshore off this east-facing beach and is often accelerated over the land.
East and north-east come onshore from open water.

What the spot record warns about

adjacent protected lagoon and sandbar are ecologically sensitive - keep off vegetated dune areas
undeveloped site with limited facilities
West wind is offshore on this east-facing beach; ride only if you have reliable rescue or school support.
Balistra is inside the Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve area; respect posted rules and do not damage dunes, vegetation or wetland margins.
The beach and lagoon cordon are already degraded by unmanaged traffic and heavy visitation; stay on the existing tracks.
Do not kite along the swimming beach in summer; it is usually full of bathers.
