Technical details of spot

Spot functioning

Ferry from Fromentine to Port-Joinville, then local transport or bicycle to the marsh area. Car access very restricted on the island — plan accordingly. West and northwest wind gives cross-shore conditions on the northeast coast. Sessions around mid to high tide for best water access. Respect all environmental protection rules in the marsh — fragile ecosystem.

On the water

Flat freshwater and saltwater marsh channels. No swell, no waves, no significant currents. Sandy and muddy bottom. Very shallow in places — foiling requires caution. The protected position gives very clean flat water conditions ideal for light wind sessions.

Wind specificities

West and northwest winds are optimal — they arrive cross-shore on the northeast-facing marsh coast. The sheltered position means less wind than the south coast but cleaner and flatter. The marsh area amplifies the thermal cycle — afternoon breezes are reliable and consistent. Northeast wind also usable.
