The Lowdown
Alright, mate, I've gotta level with you – there's nothing doing for the next 16 days at Colombet. This reef in Marseille is a fickle one, inconsistent by nature, so a stretch like this isn't a shock – it's pretty standard for this spot. The water's cooking at nearly 80°F, a good 9° above normal, which is way out of the ordinary, but it's not going to help the surf.
Even when the swell shows some size – like on the morning of Sunday the 26th with a 6ft westerly swell and a 7-second period – the wind's cross and the conditions are rated as poor. The energy is moderate (338) but the short period and crosswind make it a no-go. Most days we see tiny, weak waves (energy often under 10) with onshore or cross-onshore breezes. There are a few clean, glassy mornings (e.g., Monday 20th, Wednesday 22nd, Thursday 23rd) but they're flat as a pancake – no swell at all.
So yeah, this window is a total blank. For an inconsistent break like Colombet, that's just how it goes sometimes. Don't hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now there's nothing to chase. Rusty.
