Pointe de Figuerolles faces SE, tucked away from the prevailing westerly swell — the aspect that gives swimming the flat, sheltered water it needs more often than an exposed coast would.

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 remote, undeveloped pebble-and-gravel calanque enclosed by limestone rock faces, reachable only on foot. The water is crystalline and deepens quickly over a rocky seabed rich in marine life and Posidonia seagrass, making it a noted snorkelling and freediving site rather than a surf or wind-sports spot. It sits in a marine protected area; sensitive seagrass and rocky habitats must not be disturbed. No lifeguard is posted; tidal range is negligible.
