Wind

Best Months:	- January - February - March - April - September - October - November - December	Wind Type: - Thermal Winds

Best Direction:	- SE - NW	Main Direction: - SE - NW

The dominant wind is the Tramontane, no other wind has really a chance against it. It is a wind which blows from Northwest. This wind is created by an anticyclone over the south west of France and a depression over the Mediterranean. When the Tramontane blows it normally blows very strong. Statistics say that there are 300 days a year with a wind over force four. The other wind direction is the Marin which blows from SE. Ride south with Tramontane and north with Marin.
