Informazioni dettagliate
The spot mainly works with wind from the W to NW sector, with practice also possible on other nearby orientations depending on the area used and the tide. The inner part offers a more protected and smoother water surface, while the outer sea quickly becomes more choppy.
At high tide, the lagoon fills well and provides an interesting sailing space, with shallow water and a relatively simple launch. At low tide, some areas become very shallow, and one must remain attentive to the sandbanks that often shift. Launching is done from the large beach, with a generally comfortable take-off area, but it is important to respect reserved sectors and seasonal rules.
In summer, regulations are stricter and limit certain practices near the shore, making it important to read the spot before heading out. The site is suitable for relaxed sailing in the lagoon, but one must keep a margin near passage areas, swimmers, and other riders.
