Weather conditions
Regarding the conditions, you should know that the wind speed has a lot of influence on the water and the safety of windsurfers. With a westerly wind of less than 20 knots, the body of water remains relatively calm and therefore accessible to all. On the other hand, in the east-east wind, when the wind comes from the ground, the spot will take very little wind and therefore little swell.
The most favorable wind sectors are: Southwest, West and Northwest. On average, more than a hundred days a year are navigable.
Freestyle, free-ride, all styles are possible at Almanarre. It is even possible to send some jumps off, where the swell rises from time to time big peaks. Several shoals can also raise waves between Almanarre and Madrague. In strong winds, it is better to get into the water to the right of the spot, more sheltered from shore-breack. For many years, this mythical place has been the scene of world-class events.
