Mousterlin is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Mousterlin comes broadly from North: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
