Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Cassis – Plage de l'Arène. We're looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and the next few weeks are a prime example of how quiet it can get around here. We're staring down a massive gap; there's no real surf to speak of for the first couple of weeks.
The first flicker of something rideable appears way off on Tuesday, 21st July. The Tuesday morning session brings a 5ft swell from the NW, pushing a combined wave energy of 137 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, with the swell period a short 6 seconds, the waves are going to be pretty weak and crumbly. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Later that Tuesday afternoon, the swell drops off to 3ft, and the southerly wind picks up, turning it choppy and onshore – not worth your time.
Then, as we roll into the very end of the outlook on Monday, 20th July – wait, that's actually *before* the 21st in the data. Let me re-order this properly.
Before that Tuesday session, the afternoon of Monday, 20th July actually has the biggest swell of the whole period: a 7ft swell from the W with a period of 7 seconds. The energy reading hits a strong 440, but the onshore wind from the S at 9 mph will chop it up badly. That is strictly for experts only, and even then, it’ll be a messy war zone.
So, circling back, that Tuesday, 21st July morning is genuinely the only window that offers anything surfable. It’s not a standout; it’s just the least terrible option. For a break that's already inconsistent, this two-week blank run is pretty normal.
If you're itching for clean waves, the setup here with the stronger swells and onshore wind on the 20th looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling a surfboard.
Rusty, signing off.
