Plage des Rosaires faces NE, 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-shore at 6 kn. Straight cross-shore is the classic wing foiling direction: it lets you hold a line along the beach rather than fighting to get back to it.
Over the published window Plage des Rosaires clears 60/100 for wing foiling 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, 7 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 31 scored spots within reach today, Plage des Rosaires ranks 4th for wing foiling. 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 wide, 2 km NNE-facing sandy beach on a macrotidal bay, popular with families and, off-season, with kite and windsurf users drawn by east and north winds; a designated windsurfing zone and surfing spot sit within it. Waves are often disorganised close to shore. Supervised in season; dogs banned 1 July-31 August, 10:00-19:00. Rapid tidal rise is a hazard, so check tide times before entering.
