Works S to E (South, SSW, SW, W, NE, ENE, E). SE is directly offshore — do not go out. Beginners: SW and NE workable. Wind can be moderate and less consistent than coastal spots (inland location, surrounded by terrain). Good alternative when coastal spots have too much wind or are fully offshore.

SE is directly offshore — strictly avoid. Access to the spot requires a barrier card obtainable at the chalet park reception (€30 deposit). Winter: grass rigging area may be muddy and impassable.
