Making the most of the Cers dry wind!

In the cool of the wind

Windy weather is, to some extent, the hallmark of the Côte du Midi! While the "Cers" dry wind is what gives us all that sunny weather, it might just disrupt your plans for chilling out on the beach all day! Not to worry, there are all sorts of other activities to do, from kiteboarding to boating or hiking. Here are some ideas to keep you busy when the wind gets up!

Water sports and water activities

In the many lakes and ponds or in the sea, the region's huge recreational area is there to enjoy! Whether you prefer the stand up paddle, kayak (with a calm sea), kiteboard, windsurf or foil (with a good wind), you're spoilt for choice!

Simply check the wind speed and direction, or ask the various water activity providers!

Kite flying with children

Take a nice open space (our beaches will do nicely) and a stiff breeze, and you're all set for a great activity – that's free – for all the family!

And if you're here in May, don't miss the annual Natur'Ailes kite festival with its flying structures of every shape and size.

"Anecdote"

You will no doubt have already seen a windsock, i.e. the fabric cone through which the wind blows? You can see them near the runways of airfields or sometimes next to motorways. Used to determine the wind's speed and direction, they comprise 5 coloured rings, each representing 5 knots of wind. That way, you can know if the wind is blowing between 0 and 25 knots, or thereabouts!
