Practice Independently
Navigate among the magnificent sandbanks of the Arcachon Basin: at Les Arbousiers near Le Moulleau, our facility is located just 20 meters from the beach.
-
Northwest wind during rising tide.
-
Southwest wind during falling tide.
The beach is oriented at 290°, meaning it faces slightly north of west.

Details: "Les Arbousiers, our spot where we play with both the current and the wind":
-
For those wishing to navigate without a foil: sandbanks emerge at low tide, creating a mini Banc d’Arguin. You can thus navigate in a magnificent setting and in the cove (small sandy bay) where there is no current.
-
For those wishing to navigate with a foil: except during very small tidal coefficients, low tide should be avoided. It is preferable to choose a time when the wind is opposite to the tidal current.
Important: Except for experts, it is crucial to choose a time when the wind is opposite to the tidal current.
Our beach faces west with a slight 20° angle towards the north, so west-northwest at 290° on the compass rose. When the tide is falling, the current moves south, and when it is rising, it moves north.
-
For winds from 220° to 280° during falling tide.
-
From 280° to 300°, wind perpendicular to the beach, it can be challenging to move away from the shore.
-
For winds from 300° to 360°, it is advisable to navigate during rising tide.
All easterly winds should be avoided, and southerly and northeasterly winds are sheltered near the shore.
There can be an interesting wind corridor with a northerly wind near the shore, even with light wind.
The ideal time slot is never the same; it depends on the strength of the current relative to that of the wind.
