Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
The Plage Sud at Port Camargue lies on the gulf of Aigues-Mortes, just north of the Espiguette, but here the beach faces west. A westerly is therefore straight onshore and south-west and north-west come in side-on, while a northerly blows along the beach and an easterly is offshore. So a mistral from the north or a tramontane from the north-west, offshore or side-off at the Espiguette, gives you side-shore or side-on wind here. From 1 June to 15 September you may only kite or wing inside the 300 metres in channel 4 at beach access 53, and the tide plays no part. The Espiguette weather station is just over three kilometres away, so the live reading tells you a lot here.
From 1 June to 15 September, within 300 m you may only kite and wing in kite lane no. 4, between the third and fourth groyne at beach access 53. Outside kite zones and kite lanes, a 5-knot speed limit applies within 300 m of the shoreline. Source: AM Le Grau-du-Roi 26-07-39 art. 1, 4 and 6 (annex to PREMAR 342/2026).
The open water at Port Camargue (Plage Sud) faces W (272°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
