Plage d'Aiguebelle faces SE, so the prevailing westerly comes over the land before it reaches you. For kite foiling that usually means a gustier, less predictable flow than the raw wind speed suggests.
Today's wind is onshore at 16 kn. Onshore is the safest direction for kite foiling here — anything that goes wrong drifts you back to the beach — at the cost of a choppier surface.
Over the published window Plage d'Aiguebelle clears 60/100 for kite foiling at Intermediate, Advanced, Expert levels — that is who this spot is for on this sport. Today, 0 of 11 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.

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 sheltered, gently sloping fine-sand beach flanked by small rocky coves, calm and family-oriented, facing south-southeast into still water. It suits swimming, snorkelling among the coves, and flat-water paddling and kayaking rather than surf or kite sports; no surf or kite break is documented here. Buoyed swimmer-only and no-motor zones run each summer; dogs banned in summer. Lifeguard cover runs mid-May to late September with a flag system.
