weather

Aerology : Takeoff orientation : Southeast in the South. The most favorable period is from September till December, from 10 o\'clock when sugar cane fields are cut. During other seasons, especially when everything is green, is is better to wait until noon except when the wind allows soaring. Privileged meteorological situations : dominant meteorological Wind from the North in Northeast creating a protected zone under the wind, light wind from Southeast in the South or barométrique swamp. In some ways, by strong conditions, this site has a certain resemblance with that from Bellemène to Saint-Paul. Same typical takeoff which allows to reach the downstream cliffs with difficulty if one risks taking off when there is no thermic and where the breeze or the wind fall again in rollers on the top of the cliff, putting back down the poor hangglider. If the crenel is judicious, ascent is made immediately or between the déco and the cliff. The ascent is favored by the presence of Piton de l\'Entonoir, situated on the West by the déco and higer, on which you can lean.
