Plage de Keraude faces E, 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 cross-onshore at 8 kn. Leaning onshore, which is the forgiving side for kite foiling: you can hold a line along the beach and anything that goes wrong still drifts you in.
Over the published window Plage de Keraude clears 60/100 for kite 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, 10 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 28 scored spots within reach today, Plage de Keraude is level with 2 others at the top for kite foiling — nothing nearby is scoring better, so pick on distance.
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, east-facing town-centre beach roughly 600 m long, with a gradual sandy bottom (some pebbles) and calm bay water suited to swimming, paddleboarding, sailing, and family watersports rather than surf or kite sports. A slipway and boat channel serve self-launched craft. Lifeguards staff a supervised post 1 July–31 August, 13:00–19:00; outside those months it is unsupervised. Low tide exposes more beach given the significant tidal range.
