The spot works well with winds from southwest to northeast, often in side-shore relative to the south-facing beach, allowing for good power without too much drift. The navigation area is located south of the port, on the lake with a quick water height for foiling, but one must go upwind to avoid the channel and the port downwind. The launch is from the tiny small beach south of the port, where launching can sometimes be tight due to limited space; schools use a boat to reach the main sandbank.
The water surface is generally flat to light chop thanks to the lake's shelter, with no influence from ocean tides but with level variations related to water inputs. The prohibited area to the north, the cove marked by yellow buoys, requires vigilance to avoid drifting. In spring thermals or winter depressions, the wind is consistent, making sessions predictable for intermediates and experts.
Local feature: the Kite-Particulier school ensures privileged access to the shallow sandbank, perfect for progression, with a rescue station and designated areas during the season.
