La Figuerette faces SE, away from the prevailing Atlantic swell. For surfing that means it needs a specific direction to work rather than picking up the everyday groundswell, so it is a spot to check rather than assume.
Today's wind is cross-onshore at 9 kn. Leaning onshore, so expect some texture on the face for surfing — rideable, but short of clean.
Across the published window La Figuerette does not clear 60/100 for surfing at any ability — it peaks at 57/100, so this is a spot to watch rather than commit to right now. Today, 0 of 11 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 31 scored spots within reach today, La Figuerette ranks 30th for surfing. 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.
A sheltered, 300 m sand-and-pebble beach in a bay between a small marina and rugged coastline, with rocky and reef areas and Posidonia seagrass offshore. No surf break; calm water suits sailing, SUP, kayak and snorkelling, and a sailing club and kitesurf zone operate at the western end, with wind and kite activity on easterly or Mistral wind days. A snorkelling trail runs from the port entrance. Lifeguard-supervised in season. Dogs are prohibited.
