The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the Côte d’Azur.
Honestly, I’m scratching my head a bit. Looking at Villefranche sur Mer over the next 16 days, and there’s just nothing to get excited about. The whole period is a flat, dead run. The earliest we see any kind of pulse is on Monday the 27th of July, but even then, we’re talking about a tiny 1 ft swell from the SSW with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, and the combined energy is a weak 14. The wind is cross-offshore from the NNW, which is nice and clean, but there’s simply no power in the water to push a board.
The water temperature is a toasty 83°F, which is a whopping 10°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s like swimming in a bath, but that’s the only highlight.
We roll into Tuesday the 28th with a glassy 1 ft from the SW. Still no energy. Wednesday the 29th is dead flat. Thursday the 30th, nothing. You get the picture. There’s a tiny bump of 2 ft on Monday the 3rd of August, but with a period of 4 seconds and a cross-shore wind, it’s just messy. There is absolutely no standout period here. This break is described as "rarely breaks," and this forecast is proving that point perfectly. For a stretch of 11 days in the middle there, from the 30th of July through to the 9th of August, you’d be lucky to get a wave you can even stand up on.
There is nothing here for a surfer. If you’re desperate for a float, the glassy mornings on the 27th, 28th, or 1st of August are your best bet, but don’t expect a ride. The whole setup is so weak and small that it’s a write-off. The forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.
