It is a spot in the Mediterranean so it is such a flat water spot. There are no tides. Flat in offshore conditions, regular waves in other directions. Can be anything from flat, choppy to waves. Shallow for only about 10m. With Marin (SE) you can have waves up to 2m. Be careful with some fish which will cause some pain if you step on them, shoes recommended.

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.
