Park close to the beach and the water. The wind direction decides the conditions. From SE, E or NE (Marin) you get flat water for fast blasting and easy slalom, with 15 to 35 knots of gusty offshore wind. From W (Tramontane) you get big waves, mostly in winter, with 20 to 40 knots (10 to 20 knots in summer). The launch is harder. From NW (Mistral) you get up to 45 to 50 knots in winter, and 20 to 30 knots in summer, but that is rarer. The water is wavy and choppy, good for high wind slalom and bump and jump. Watch out for rocks, and do not lose your gear in the waves.
