The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: if you’re hanging out for a surf at Antibes - Fort Carre, I’ve got to level with you. The forecast for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak swell and mostly cross-onshore winds.
The only period that even offers a pulse of energy is around the 11th of August, Tuesday afternoon, when we see a tiny bump to 3ft from the east, with a short 5-second period. The combined energy is still only 38 (moderate energy), and the wind is a cross-onshore at 9 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at a very unusual 83°, but that’s about the only upside.
Honestly, for the first week, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is non-existent, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and the scores are all zeros. The only remotely clean windows are a few glassy mornings with no real swell to push, like Thursday the 6th and Saturday the 8th when the wind drops to nothing, but we’re talking about ankle-snappers at 0.3ft to 2ft. It’s a flat spell.
The second week doesn’t get any better. After the 11th, it’s right back to tiny, messy surf. The 15th of August has a bump with an onshore wind at 12 mph, which is just a write-off. This is a reef break that is inconsistent and rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. For a beginner-friendly spot, you’d want more than this.
Given the persistent poor surf quality, strong onshore winds on the bigger days, and the beach-and-reef setup here, this stretch of water looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle board. That’s the reality.
It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
