Anse de Pampin faces NW, open to the prevailing swell and wind. For swimming 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 cross-shore at 9 kn. At that strength expect a textured surface for swimming, and the shelter of the bay to matter more than the forecast number.
Over the published window Anse de Pampin clears 60/100 for swimming 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, 10 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.

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 small, quiet pebble beach in the sheltered strait between the mainland and the island, with a sandy seabed underwater and views toward the nearby bridge. The bay is calm and flat, with no significant swell, suited to kayaking and paddleboarding; self-service rentals operate on site. A seasonal first-aid post covers the beach daily from early July to early September, tide-dependent hours; outside that window there is no supervision.
