Plage des Blancs Sablons faces NW, 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-offshore at 3 kn. Leaning offshore, so the face should still stand up clean for surfing — not the glassy hold of a straight offshore, but the right side of neutral.
Over the published window Plage des Blancs Sablons clears 60/100 for surfing 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, 6 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 31 scored spots within reach today, Plage des Blancs Sablons is the best of them for surfing — so if you are travelling for it, this is the one.
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 wild, 2.5 km fine-sand beach in a marine nature park, facing open swell and wind from the west and northwest. The sandy break, with cliff-base rocks, gives lefts and rights, most consistent in autumn and winter; it is a windsurf and kitesurf spot. A flagged swimming zone is supervised on the western section, July-August, 14:00-19:00; the rest is unsupervised. Tidal range reaches nearly 6 metres, with a violent shorebreak at high tide.
