Port Barberousse

Shelter by wind direction

Exposed on all sides.

In the most open sector, up to 30 NM of open water towards the north.

Swell can come in from north to north (0°–360°).

Shelter is estimated from open water and swell, not from wind strength: a strong wind can still gust over the land.

Approach

Direct approach from open water; the routing point lies 1.8 NM from the anchoring spot.

Protected area and seagrass

Port Barberousse lies in the protected area Parc naturel régional de la Narbonnaise en Méditerranée: check its rules (anchoring, speed, buoys) before you arrive.
