Mauguio

The Roquilles mainly work with southeast to southwest winds. With southeast winds, the shorebreak can be significant and the water surface often becomes choppy with waves breaking randomly due to the sandy bottom. With southwest winds, conditions are more consistent with more predictable waves. The spot also works with thermal winds from the south and with tramontane (northwest), although the latter is difficult to exploit in the bay.

Launching is done from the main beach with easy access. A navigation channel is established during the summer season and should only be used to reach and leave the shore, with navigation occurring beyond 300 meters. The area for preparing kites is not very wide and can be crowded with tourists in summer. A row of wooden stakes protects the dunes, located about a line length from the beach, which must be strictly respected.

West and southwest winds are rare but offer the best riding conditions as they are very consistent. The water surface is not protected from the swell coming from the open sea, resulting in a lot of waves that break randomly, particularly with southeast winds.
