Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cassis - Plage de l'Arène over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this spot. The next 16 days are a real mixed bag, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s mostly a write-off, a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy conditions. The good news? There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but you’ll have to wait for it.
Right now, and for the first week and a half, we’re looking at a massive flat spell. From the 10th of July right through to the 19th, the swell is just a whisper. You’ll see the odd ripple at Cassis - Plage de l'Arène but we’re talking ankle-slappers, with wave heights barely scraping 1 ft and the combined energy is a pitiful 1 to 10 (1 to 10). The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the water is a very unusual 76°F – that’s 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a real oddity. It’s glassy on a few mornings, but with no swell, it’s just a lake. Don’t bother suiting up.
Then, on the 20th of July, Monday morning, things finally start to change. The first real pulse of energy arrives. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the NW, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 123 (123). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze out of the north, so it’ll be clean. It’s still not a classic, but it’s the first surfable waves we’ve seen in over a week. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, so get your session in early.
The swell sticks around for the 21st and 22nd, but it’s a bit of a tease. The 21st of July, Tuesday morning, has 5 ft from the NW again with 115 (115) energy, but it’s a cross-shore breeze, which won’t help it hold shape. The 22nd is a no-go for paddling – the wind is howling at 25 mph to 28 mph from the NW, making it a total chop-fest. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the morning of the 25th of July, Saturday. The swell builds to 5 ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 192 (192). The wind is glassy out of the ESE. This is the best on offer. The break is a beginner-friendly reef, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be clean and rideable. The water is still warm, and the crowds are often there, so expect company. If you’re a beginner, the 5 ft is right at your limit, so be mindful. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-on breeze, so it’s a morning mission.
So, to wrap it up: grit your teeth through the dry spell until the 20th, but circle the 25th of July on your calendar. That’s your best bet for a proper surf.
Rusty.
