Pure excitement:
The excitement is in the air! And with a month’s margin to choose the perfect conditions, we can expect pure spectacle. From the mighty winds of the Pyrenees to the serene waters of the Barcarès lagoon, everything is set for an epic battle!
Venue Information: Barcarès
Wind: The tramontane blowing from the north or northwest offshore is the best. The location has no tides, with flat waters and temperatures from 10 to 20 °C.
The best wind for Big Air is from 25 to 40 knots. (In Windguru, the perfect forecast is 25 knots, with gusts of 30 to 35 knots, with gusts as a benchmark for true wind).
The wind usually exceeds by 5 to 10 knots the forecast, especially if the air temperature is cold.
Venue Specifics: The wind heads towards the corner of the jump area, so riders can often jump three to five meters higher than usual.
The jump area has deep waters, making it safer in case of accidents.
The best seasons for the Tramontane are from March to June and from September to December. During the summer, the warm weather in southern France can alter the pattern.
500 meters away, the location has two cable parks: a full-size Téléski Nautique and the Sailor Wakepark “ida y vuelta.” Just one kilometer away, there’s a full-size indoor and outdoor skatepark: Shakapark.
At the competition venue, there’s a bar-restaurant, The Spott, and a Duotone brand kite surfing school, Surf&Kite.
So mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable experience. See you at Lords of Tram, friends!
