Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the 16-day stretch for our little patch of reef.
Honestly, it’s a flat spell for a while. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak dribble here at Cassis - Plage de l'Arène, with the first few days offering nothing you’d paddle out for. The wait is real.
Saturday 4th July kicks things off with some knee-high, 3ft swell on a 5-second period – that’s just wind chop, not surf. The combined energy is pathetic, sitting at just 47. Late in the day, it gets a bit of a cross-on breeze.
Sunday 5th July is a write-off. Swell drops to 2ft and then 1ft by the afternoon, with barely any energy (23). It’s just not there.
Monday 6th July sees the energy bottom out completely – 1ft and 4-second periods, with an energy reading of 6. You could barely get a bellyboard going.
We then drift through a long, flat gap from Tuesday 7th July right through to Saturday 11th July. There’s essentially nothing. The swell heights are below 2ft or non-existent, and the energy values are all in single digits – just a hopeless stretch for a reef break that needs that SW window to light up.
Sunday 12th July teases with a tiny 1ft bump from the SSE, but with a 5-second period and energy at 6, it’s not worth getting wet for.
*Finally*, Monday 13th July shows a bit of life. The swell picks up to 3ft from the west, with a 6-second period and energy climbing to 72. That’s the most juice we see in the whole outlook. Unfortunately, the wind gets messy on Monday afternoon, with 15 mph cross-onshore wind making it choppy. Still, for a reef break that’s oriented for SW swell, this is the closest we get to something rideable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
After that, Tuesday 14th July to the end is a slow decline. Tuesday gets windy (18 mph), messy, and choppy with 2ft. The rest of the week drops back to tiny or flat, with the last session on Sunday 19th July showing a glassy 0.3ft, but you’d need a ripple to ride it.
No true standouts here. The only period with any real energy is the morning of Monday 13th July, but with the wind turning later and the swell period remaining short, it's not a classic.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
