Plage de Bonnegrâce faces SW, straight into the prevailing Atlantic swell window — the reason it has waves at all, and the reason it is rarely flat.

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 1.2 km pebble promenade beach, the largest in the commune, with a calm, supervised family swimming zone along most of its length. The eastern end is a beach-break spot for experienced windsport and surf riders, working best on Mistral and SW/W/NW winds, with intense shorebreak on SW days and a sandy, foil-friendly bottom. Kitesurfing is banned there in summer; wingfoil and surfing continue year-round. BNSSA lifeguards patrol summer, 09:00-19:00.
