Un mois après, un nouveau coup de mer s’est invité sur le littoral de Frontignan.

The last of its kind was at the end of March. Less violent than its predecessor, the sea surge of this Saturday April 27 still shook the coastline in general, and of course, that of Frontignan.

Gusts at 75 km/h

Throughout the day, the east/southeast wind continued to strengthen, reaching gusts of around 75 km/h in the heart of the region. rsquo;afternoon. For the record, they were around 100 km/h during the previous episode. And in our sector, which says east wind, says big waves.

5 m wave

The rollers therefore developed as Éole gained strength. In the middle of the afternoon, the highest wave recorded by the weather buoy located offshore was measured at 5 m. Which made the happiness of a few surfers who tried their luck on the first beach located at the exit of the port of Frontignan.

A new treasure revealed ?

For this Sunday, the power of the wind, and therefore the height of the waves, will slowly decrease. But it’s the rain that will come to the area. Perhaps she will clean up elements brought to light by this sea surge. We remember that the previous one had revealed three mysterious concrete blocks – ultimately German underwater mine racks – at the center of Les Mouettes.
