Marseillan plage faces SE, so the prevailing westerly comes over the land before it reaches you. For wing foiling that usually means a gustier, less predictable flow than the raw wind speed suggests.
Today's wind is cross-offshore at 11 kn. Leaning offshore, so a failure drifts you away from the beach rather than back to it — rideable for wing foiling, but not the direction to push your luck in.

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 long, wide, fine-sand beach on the Herault lido, with a gently sloping sandy bottom and no rocks or reef at the waterline. It is flat and wind-swell driven, used mainly for windsurfing and kitesurfing in Tramontane winds, which blow offshore here, carrying a drift-out risk for unsupervised riders. Lifeguard posts operate at several sections from mid/late June through September. Dogs are restricted to designated leashed zones.
