Overview

To the north of Formentera, the turquoise water and sandbanks create a very typical 'glide trip' setting, with conditions ranging from flat to slightly choppy depending on the wind. The summer thermal often blows from the east or northeast, with a good window in spring, but the area is mainly known for its clean water and easy launches when the spot is allowed. However, one must remain attentive to local rules, the rather narrow launch area, and the tourist traffic during high season. Overall, it suits a wide audience in the most accessible sectors, but some passages already require being comfortable with a clean takeoff and independent navigation.
