Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bandol - Les Nervis over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Bandol area.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak couple of weeks ahead. We've got a massive gap of nothing but tiny, poor surf right through until the back half of the outlook. The water is sitting at 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice dip, but there's barely a ripple to ride for over a week.
We kick off Wednesday the 8th with a tiny 0.3m SW swell, but the energy is non-existent (3). The wind is offshore, which is a positive, but the swell is just too weak to do anything with. That same small, weak SW swell hangs around for days, with a period so short it’s basically just wind chop. You’ll see some glassy conditions on Thursday the 9th morning and Monday the 13th morning, but with zero swell, it’s just a flat, pretty lake.
There’s a stretch from the 10th through the 20th where nearly every session is rated as poor. Don’t even bother checking the 0.1m and 0.2m bumps; that’s not surf.
Now, the one glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 22nd of July. The forecast shows a proper pulse of energy arriving, with a 1.8m WNW swell pumping in. The combined swell energy reading is a solid 265 – that’s moderate energy, and it’ll have some push. Bandol - Les Nervis is a beach and reef setup, and with a strong WNW offshore wind, it should be clean. However, this is a short-period swell at 6 seconds, so it might be a bit crumbly and bumpy on the beach. Over 1.5m, this is pushing into territory that’s too big for beginners, and the afternoon sees it dropping to 1.6m with a cross-offshore breeze. For the experienced crew, this is the only window that looks worth checking, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it because forecasts can change.
Basically, you’ve got one week of flatness, a second week of nothing, and then a final window of hope. It’s a tough run, but it won’t stay this way forever.
