Plage du Lequin faces W, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow kite surfing wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is offshore at 12 kn. Offshore is the one to be careful with for kite surfing — a failure blows you away from the beach, so it is a spot for a safety boat or a change of plan rather than a solo session.

Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
A small, narrow, wild beach reached only on foot or by bike, within a protected national-park marine reserve. Fine sand mixed with pebbles meets sand, rock, and posidonia meadows; sheltered and calm, with clear water suited to snorkelling and diving rather than surfing or wind sports. Powered watercraft are banned within 600 m. Seasonal lifeguard cover is present. A gentle slope aids entry, though seagrass can make footing uneven; negligible tide.
