Wind
The main wind during summer is the Scirocco which blows from the South East. A typical morning will start with a 6/7 knot breeze allowing the beginners to get familiar with their new passion and intermediates to practise more advanced manoeuvres in the easier conditions. As the afternoon arrives it brings the thermal wind of around 15-25 knots perfect for the advanced freeriders to plane round their carve jibes and intermediates to take their first steps into the footstraps.
In the bay the water is mirror flat for freestyle whilst just outside there are plenty of decent ramps for jumping. Sometimes mistral blows in, and when this happens, freeriders and advanced windsurfers can get their adrenaline kicks surfing wild wind, 25 to 35 knots. With tramontana from the north, big waves come along and you can practice your jumps close to the beach.
All in all, the wind is variable and has something to offer for every type of windsurfer.
