Flat to choppy water. The water does not have the best quality. Shallow for about 100m. Very flat in offshore SE winds. The inland body water is always safe with flat to choppy water. With 25+ knots the chop turns into waves. Long sandy beach. Most polluted beach in France. Narrow beach for launching kites with NW wind, which are gusty and onshore, dangerous. Best in W, NW and NNW. But also nice with SE (offshore). Many days 15-20 knots during summer. NW is gusty. Warm in summer, cold in winter. Spring to fall shorts or shorty, winter full wetsuit. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Camping, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
