Spot de Port la Nouvelle

Port la Nouvelle

Port la Nouvelle

Overview

Port-la-Nouvelle — Plage Sud. Similar to neighboring spots in Tramontane and Marin conditions — but much less crowded. You won't share the water with anyone here.

By Tramontane NW: offshore, flat — speed and freestyle. By Marin SE: average to powerful beachbreak at Plage Sud. Waves cleaner north of breakwaters. Localized NE thermal sometimes blows ~15 knots between Gruissan and La Franqui.

Between La Vieille Nouvelle (north) and La Palme/Rouet (south). Less famous but quality conditions.
