Plage des Pesquiers 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 cross-shore at 21 kn. Straight cross-shore is the classic windsurfing direction: it lets you hold a line along the beach rather than fighting to get back to it.

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 narrow (c. 200 m), wild, partly naturist sandy beach between pine dunes and a bird reserve on a sheltered bay. Sheltered from the Mistral, it has calm, clear water over sand (with some gravel), suited to flat-water paddling and windsurfing, not surf. Kitesurfing is not authorised here. Access is difficult; dogs are permitted and barbecues authorised. It is monitored seasonally, mid-June to mid-September, but is not among the city's named lifeguard posts.
