The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for you in feet and knots.
Bandol - Les Nervis is your only spot in the 16-day window, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—it’s a rough stretch. The water’s at 26°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, so that’s a bit of a surprise if you’re just floating around, but for surfing? It’s a tough go.
The first week is basically a blank. From Thursday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 29th, there’s nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with short periods and weak energy. The combined energy sits in the single digits or low double digits (weak). You’ll see some offshore wind here and there, like Saturday morning the 18th with a gentle NW offshore, but there’s no wave to ride. It’s a long, flat gap.
Finally, things perk up a bit on Thursday the 30th of July. The morning brings a 3-foot swell from the south, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 88 (moderate). Conditions are clean with a light NNE breeze, and the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best it gets across the whole run. The swell is small, but it’s a south swell, and this break is a beach and reef setup that prefers a SSW direction, so it’s in the right ballpark. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be rideable. Just don’t expect anything special.
After that, into Friday the 31st, it drops back to 2 feet and much weaker energy.
Look, there’s no standout here. The one highlight is Thursday morning the 30th – that’s your best window by far. If you’re keen for a paddle, that’s when to go. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue, but with this level of surf, you’ll probably have the place to yourself.
