Thomas Beach Baratti faces NW, open to the prevailing swell and wind. For paddleboarding that is the hard direction: expect the surface to be workable only when the forecast genuinely drops, not on an average day.
Today's wind is offshore at 12 kn. Blowing off the land keeps the surface flatter near the beach for paddleboarding, but it also pushes you out — stay inside where you can comfortably get back.

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 serviced beach on a sheltered, NW-facing sandy bay backed by pinewood and an archaeological park, used mainly for swimming and snorkelling. The bay is calm with no real surf break, though a nearby rocky point breaks as a distinct reef surf/wind/kite spot. Kite and windsurf are discouraged in summer due to swimmer density; a grassy inland area is used for launching. Lifeguards are on duty in the main summer season only, not off-season.
