Plage de la Coudoulière 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 offshore at 10 kn. Blowing off the land keeps the surface flatter near the beach for swimming, but it also pushes you out — stay inside where you can comfortably get back.

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 large Mediterranean beach from a harbour to a headland, split between a sandy-and-gravel family cove near the port and a rocky wave-sport zone toward the cliff, a leading windsurf and kitesurf wave spot with powerful Mistral-driven shore break. The rocky section has sharp rocks and sea urchins, so water shoes are advised. Best on northwest (Mistral) wind. Lifeguards patrol daily from mid-June through summer; access to that section includes stairs.
