Conditions at La Barge aux Congres

La Barge aux Congres is open to the sea from the NE–ENE, SSW–WSW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SE–S.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon and Tue. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try sentier sous-marin de la Palud (2.7 km, sheltered from the ENE, SSW–WSW).

The water is 19 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 7.2 km of open waterNNE: 15.3 km of open waterNE: 25.6 km of open waterENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: 7.1 km of open waterESE: 3.2 km of open waterSE: 2.3 km of open waterSSE: 1.0 km of open waterS: 1.7 km of open waterSSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: 9.8 km of open waterWNW: 17.9 km of open waterNW: 14.1 km of open waterNNW: 8.3 km of open waterNESW

Open to NE–ENE, SSW–WSW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from SE–S: land blocks the waves.
