Plage du Créneau Naturel 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-offshore at 15 kn. Blowing off the land keeps the surface flatter near the beach for e-foiling, but it also pushes you out — stay inside where you can comfortably get back.
Over the published window Plage du Créneau Naturel clears 60/100 for e-foiling at every ability from Beginner to Expert — an unusually broad spot, which normally means a range of conditions rather than one narrow sweet spot. Today, 0 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 29 scored spots within reach today, Plage du Créneau Naturel ranks 5th for e-foiling. The order changes by discipline: the same conditions that put a spot top for one sport can drop it down the list for another.
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.
