No month stands out

Good windsurf days in a typical week, each month, from 2016 on (ERA5 history scored the same way).

Tap a month to see this spot for a trip then.

Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Leucate Sud

Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 17°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 E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 12°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 23°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Leucate. Within 5 km we also list 3 wind sports spots.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
