Etang de Leucate France kite spot
Country: France
Spot name: Etang de Leucate
Recommended accommodations:

Water conditions: The dominant wind is the Tramontane, no other wind has really a chance against it. It is a wind which blows from Northwest. This wind is created by an anticyclone over the south west of France and a depression over the Mediterranean. When the Tramontane blows it normally blows very strong. Statistics say that there are 300 days a year with a wind over force four. The other wind direction is the Marin which blows from SE, but not good for this spot. Best if a bit more West than North.
