Spot functioning
Even though you'll always see riders launching through the swimming area, the official zone is the small beach (See map). It's certainly tighter and less pleasant than the large beach, but it's the price to pay for good cohabitation with other beach users.
Note that although the spot lends itself to it and it has been seen before, kite instruction should not take place in the swimming area!
Back to shore
Pour le retour à terre, si vous êtes pas sur de votre coup, rapprocher-vous du bord jusqu'à avoir votre fond, larguer et faites un self-rescue. Il vaut mieux une aile mouillée qu'un accident ou une aile cassée.
Required level
Intermediate
Spot opening date
Ouvert toute l'année
Parking
There is a very large parking area behind the spot. Just remember to pay for it. A bit further toward the port, there's also a building with toilets.
Hazards
The main danger of this spot is the launch area. You'll be on a sandy beach, but downwind from the port, and the official launch zone is small and sometimes a bit sketchy.
Don't launch through the swimming area, the fine is hefty and controls are increasingly frequent.
Wind specificities
It's mainly a southwest wind spot, but it also works with west winds thanks to the Joran (It can even be thermal in summer). The Bise (northeast wind) works too, but is much more irregular, and is a nice starting point for a downwind to Yvonand or in any case reserved for good riders.
In southwest winds, always look at the horizon to see if a squall is approaching (Strong gusts ahead!)
