The spot works mainly at low tide where the immense beach frees up a large navigation area with shallow water. The launch is directly from the sand, easy and without major obstacles. The launch area is wide, at the center of Jean Moulin beach, marked to avoid bathers in season.
The dominant wind comes from NW to W, side-on perfect for the east-west oriented beach, allowing for freeride or freestyle sessions. With a wind of 244° (about WSW), it is side-shore starboard, ideal for light waves or flat depending on the tide. At high tide, the water rises quickly and reduces the navigable area, making the spot technical.
The best navigation areas are to the north of the beach, near the dunes, to avoid the family sector. Be cautious of fishermen and walkers; respect the markers. In summer, the NW thermal strengthens in the afternoon for long sessions.
