Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Gruissan is known for the tramontane and the cers, and the start of the Défi Wing, the wingfoil race run by the organisers of the Défi Wind, lies off the beach of the Vieille Nouvelle. The beach faces east-south-east, so east to south-east, the direction of the marin, is onshore, and north-east and south come in side-on. Every wind from west to north, the tramontane and the cers included, blows offshore here and pushes you out to sea if anything goes wrong, which is why Windulu gives a no-go here on those days. The tide plays no part, and there is no weather station that tells you anything about this beach, so here you go by the forecast.
In season, launch your kite or wing in zone 7, the 250 m of beach directly southwest of the pier; kiting is banned in the swimming zone in front of it (zone 8). Within 300 m, a 5-knot limit applies to all unregistered craft. Source: PREMAR 157/2025 annex IV, AM Gruissan 2021-409 art. 8 and 9.
The open water at Gruissan (Vieille Nouvelle) faces ESE (115°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are northeast, east, southeast and south (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the west and northwest, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
