Plage du Boeuf faces SE, tucked away from the prevailing westerly swell — the aspect that gives e-foiling the flat, sheltered water it needs more often than an exposed coast would.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 16 kn. At that strength expect a textured surface for e-foiling, and the shelter of the bay to matter more than the forecast number.

Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
A secluded, unsupervised wild cove of black sand and pebbles on a stretch of corniche below a headland, with crystalline, calm SE-facing water suited to swimming, snorkelling and flat-water paddling rather than surf; riptides are noted as an occasional hazard. Access is via a steep, sometimes hazardous footpath, and the road to it closes mid-June to mid-September for wildfire risk. Bathing is unsupervised, and it is mainly frequented by naturists.
