About Gruissan
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 5.0 km out (1 in 500). The sea is about 12°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 22°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Gruissan. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 1 wind sports spot, 1 climbing area and 1 mountain bike area.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
