💨Wind
🔥 Thermal: Bise is the main wind; the Joran (NW) rises late in the day only under certain conditions. Usually from SSE, strongest around 20:00.
FoilFlow checks the thermal conditions every day (sun strength, wind aloft, Föhn, Bise and the lake's own pressure rules) and shows when it is likely.
Forecasts from several weather models (e.g. ICON, AROME, HARMONIE) and live measuring stations nearby are in the app.
💡Good to know
- Sailing school with boat rental; same SW wind as Saint-Blaise
- Regular wind, one of the best wing lakes of western Switzerland; downwinders Boudry / Estavayer -> Yverdon
- Algae can build up in summer
