Plage de la Pinède faces SE, so the prevailing westerly comes over the land before it reaches you. For windsurfing that usually means a gustier, less predictable flow than the raw wind speed suggests.
Today's wind is onshore at 13 kn. Onshore is the safest direction for windsurfing here — anything that goes wrong drifts you back to the beach — at the cost of a choppier surface.
Over the published window Plage de la Pinède clears 60/100 for windsurfing 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.
Among the 30 scored spots within reach today, Plage de la Pinède ranks 28th for windsurfing. The order changes by discipline: the same conditions that put a spot top for one sport can drop it down the list for another.
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 cove on the Corniche des Issambres, facing SSE toward the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, shaded by pine trees, with a mixed sand, pebble and rock bottom — water shoes advisable. A calm-water beach with no surf break, suited to swimming and flat-water paddling. The official regional tourism authority calls it unguarded, though one aggregator suggests seasonal surveillance. Dogs are prohibited here; permitted only on two named nearby beaches.
