Wind

How about the wind?

The Languedoc-Roussillon is said to catch 250 days of wind a year.

The prevailing wind in the area is the north-westerly Tramontane, blowing anything from a force 4 to a force 8. The warm, dry Tramontane winds are said to blow for three, six or nine days and sweep the skies clear of any clouds bringing lots of sunshine.

Other wind directions that are often felt are the Marin (east) and the Vent d’Espagne (southeast). These winds although not as strong as the Tramontane give us plenty of air to go out on the sea. This direction may also bring along a bit of wave action and can increase in strength with the thermic effects..
