The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the next couple of weeks in feet and degrees.
Honestly, it's looking pretty grim. For the bulk of the next 16 days, there's hardly any swell to speak of. The energy is flat, and the waves are just not there. The only spot in the game is La Marina, a reef break that's inconsistent and can get crowded, but even it is struggling big time.
The first glimmer of something happens on the morning of Friday, July 31st. We've got a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW with a short 4-second period. The water is a very warm 83°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year. The wind is glassy from the NNE, which is nice, but the combined wave energy is only 1 (weak). It's barely a ripple. It's not really surfable.
We drift through the first week of August with the same story: a few mornings with glassy conditions but no real swell. The energy readings are all in the single digits. On the morning of Monday, August 10th, we get a slight bump – a 3ft swell from the ENE with a period of 4 seconds and a combined energy of 29 (still weak). The wind is clean and cross-offshore from the NNW. That's the best of a bad lot, but it's still poor surf conditions. You might get a tiny ride, but don't get your hopes up.
A few days earlier, on the morning of Sunday, August 9th, we see a clean offshore wind from the WNW at 3 mph, but it's only pushing a 1.0ft, 4-second period SSW swell. Energy is just 3. It's a tease.
After that, it's back to flat. The 14th of August has a clean cross-offshore wind in the morning, but with no swell, it's just a nice day to be on the sand. The 15th of August has a similar story: a tiny 0.7ft, 3-second period SSW swell with a combined energy of 1.
So, the long and short of it is: there are no standout days, no magic windows. The entire 16-day forecast is a bust. The swell energy is almost non-existent, and the waves that do show up are too small and weak to offer any quality. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Keep your gear ready, forecasts can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the La Marina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Marina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Marina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Marina surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (La Marina) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for La Marina may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
La Marina is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Cagnes-sur-Mer. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Cagnes-sur-Mer has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
