Nouveau port des Lecques

Shelter by wind direction

Good shelter in north, north-east, east (levante), south-east and north-west (mistral) wind.

Partial shelter in south, south-west and west wind.

Swell can come in from south-west to south-west (232°–236°).

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

Approach through a channel or a harbour entrance: routes end about 1.1 NM off, then continue at reduced speed.
