Plage du Pellegrin faces S. For swimming how much swell and wind that aspect keeps out matters more than the open-water forecast.
Today's wind is cross-shore at 12 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 Plage du Pellegrin 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, 0 of 11 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 large (about 870 m), semi-wild fine white-sand bay backed by pine forest and dunes, facing SSW and quieter than busier coast. Fine sand with a gentle, shallow slope suits swimming; the bay is also used for bodyboarding, paddleboarding, kitesurfing and windsurfing, though limited fetch keeps swell small. No lifeguard post is confirmed here. Road access is seasonal with paid parking; a coastal footpath gives free access year-round. Dogs are permitted.
