A trip from 10 to 15 minutes of sailing to discover the coast and local spots kitesurf seen offshore. In case of light wind as the thermal Southwest we head towards the beautiful beaches of the Maguelone Villeneuve or the Espiguette. These beaches are difficult to access by car or on foot we guarantee excellent conditions for learning. A very low attendance and a clear water of high quality learning can under ideal conditions. Nothing to do with learning pond. And if the wind rises and created waves of annoying, our boat to teach in a off-shore, which is the certainty of a perfectly flat basin.

The tramontane
The guidance is Tramontane Northwest. It blows all year but more frequently during the inter-season. It is rare in winter and almost absent in summer. Its strength ranges from 15 to 25 knots. Rarely more than 30 knots. This is one reason for the decline of the local windsurfing because funboard is really interesting that in a wind soutenu.Notre region is less exposed than the delusions of Roussillon to the wind. We can estimate that the blast Tramontane 1 / 3 stronger in the region of Leucate-La Franqui. When we have 25 knots, there is at least 35 knots. During World wind in April, there are often winds over 50 knots to Franqui. The horror for kitesurf.Devinez where learning and practice of kiteboarding are the most fun? Tip: When you arrive on the beach to assess the wind, watch if the sun is not obscured by cloud. Because Tram 'falters when cloud obscures the sun. Large gray, you know that if you're already caught ... And when the cloud departed, the wind takes a good ten knots. Better to be 4 then son! The first day of Tram ', expect a few regular wind.

The Mistral
In winter, the wind direction through the northern Alps snow and very cold. Quickly caught on nails. We easily lose 8 to 10 ° to the Tram. The Mistral, which is reinforced in the Rhone valley blowing between 15 and 25 knots on the west of the Camargue, stopping to Montpellier. It is stronger and Beauduc to Marseille where he can reach and sometimes exceed 40 nœuds.Comme the Tram 'is rather a wind intersaison but the Mistral blows often the last time around the first week of July. It is said that Mistral and Tramontana winds in series of 3, 6, 9 and muliple of 3 ... jours.Astuce: in the bay of Aigues-Mortes, we are often trapped by a complex interaction between heat and Mistral. Indeed, the Mistral dégage full sky becomes blue. This allows the sun to trigger a thermal effect with the antagonist Mistral. Which implies a weakening of the Mistral at noon and enhanced to approximately 17 hours. Time when the influence of heat becomes significant. This effect is almost nil in case of cold Mistral or very strong. But what local rider has not been trapped in this game? Raphael, you follow my thoughts ...

Axel'Air zone combination of Mistral and the Tram
These two winds often blow together. In this case, re Axel'Air found in the conjunction of these two vents.Si the Mistral is a very North-East and the very Tramontane Northwest, we can see a compression of the winds. There is then the area Carnon flat calm while in the east of the area blowing over 20 knots and such in the West! It often has a composition of the two winds. Hence the frequent confusion by some practitioners. It depends on the strength of each. If the frame is strong and the weak Mistral. This is the Tram ', which will prevail and vice versa.
South-East or Marin
