We have two main winds in Sant Pere Pescador:
Tramuntana - Northern wind
Tramuntana is our main wind, blowing from September to May in our Fasewind spot. It usually lasts odd days, and it’s a strong wind. The first and last days, the wind speed can be 12 to 20 knots, in the mid days normally scores 20 to 35 knots, but it can blow more than 65 knots when it gets angry. Even it’s gusty and shifty, it’s a really appreciated wind by many good riders. In Sant Pere Pescador, we have flat or small choppy conditions with tramuntana, as it is a SIDE SHORE wind.
Xaloc or "Marinada" - South-eastern wind
Xaloc or “marinada” is our summer wind, blowing from June to September. It’s a thermic wind, wich starts at noon until 6 or 7 in the afternoon. It’s not a strong wind, but it blows every day from 12 to 20 knots in summer. Perfect for freeride, slalom and freestyle, and of course for begginers. In Sant Pere Pescador it’s flat in the morning, choppy at noon, and get’s wavy with the wind. As the wind shifts during the day, it starts arround 110º with ON SHORE conditions, shifting to 130-150º when it picks up, offering SIDE ON conditions.
