Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cassis - Plage de l'Arène over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for the Plage de l'Arène area, it’s going to be a tough slog. We’re not looking at much in the way of real surf. The first real blip on the radar doesn’t show up until Sunday the 19th, and even then it’s just barely surfable. For almost a full week before that, from today right through Saturday the 18th, the swell is basically non-existent with tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. You’d be better off taking the board for a walk or cleaning the wax off.
The only time we get anything worth paddling out for is the morning of Sunday the 19th. We’ve got a clean little 3.9ft NW windswell pushing in, and it’s got that light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW making the surface glassy. The wave energy is weak (67) though, so don’t expect any power. It’s all a bit ordinary, but for an inconsistent, beginner-friendly reef like Cassis - Plage de l'Arène, that’s probably the best you’re going to get. The water temperature is a wild 77.4°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a steamer.
That Sunday morning session is your one and only real standout, and I’m being generous with that term. After that, Monday the 20th morning has a similar 3.3ft swell and clean wind, but again, it’s weak (75) and ordinary. For the rest of the second week, it just flatlines back into tiny, messy junk or no swell at all. The morning of Tuesday the 28th shows a glimmer – a glassy 3.6ft WNW swell (63) – but like the others, it’s only rated as surfable with very ordinary conditions. It’s a long way off, so don’t hold your breath.
Honestly, for a spot that’s already inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area. If you’re desperate, the morning of Sunday the 19th is your only real shot, and it’s barely worth calling a session.
