Plan your route according to the weather and swell

Even if the sun is out, adapting your route to the weather will make your outing even more enjoyable.

• Departure in the morning : the sea is often calmer, perfect for swimming in the coves.

• Choosing an anchorage with Navily : depending on the direction of the wind or swell, the application recommends the best shelters (beaches, coves, ports).

• Return at the end of the afternoon : with a generally rougher sea, remember to anticipate your return a little if the wind picks up.
