Biscarosse plage faces W, straight into the prevailing Atlantic swell window — the reason it has waves at all, and the reason it is rarely flat.
Today's wind is cross-onshore at 6 kn. Leaning onshore, so expect some texture on the face for surfing — rideable, but short of clean.

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 wide, exposed Atlantic beach break facing WNW across roughly 4 km of sand backed by pine dunes, part of a resort with multi-post lifeguard cover. The pure-sand break gives lefts and rights year-round, most consistent in autumn; strong rips make it unsuitable for weak swimmers or unsupervised beginners. Kitesurfing is confined to the southern zone in July-August next to an off-limits military area; a 300 m band limits vessel speed to 3 knots.
