The Lowdown
Imperial Text
Alright mates, settle in. Over the next 16 days, Villefranche sur Mer is lookin’ like a lake for the most part. This is a reef break that rarely breaks anyway, and we’re in a long run of tiny, weak waves. There’s a big gap of near-flat conditions from the 9th of August right through to the 17th, so that’s over a week with nothin’ worth paddling out for.
Let’s start where there’s at least a pulse. Thursday morning the 6th of August, you’ll find a glassy 0.3ft southerly, but the combined energy is a measly 1 – you’ll be waiting an age between dribbles. Friday the 7th starts similar with glassy 1ft from the SW and just 17 combined energy. Still, it’s pretty as a picture at dawn with that offie wind, but it's tiny.
We get a little tease around the 18th of August – Tuesday morning goes totally calm and glassy with a 3ft southerly swell. The energy jumps to 57, still weak but it’s the biggest we see. That’s the standout of the whole outlook, and it’s still only just over knee-high. The morning will be clean as a whistle.
Then Wednesday the 19th of August, the morning has a 3ft swell from the SW, and the combined energy hits 105, which is at least moderate. But it’s crossed up with a light cross-onshore wind, so expect bumpy little lumps.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks, this run is more normal than it is a bummer. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. For 16 days, there is no standout surf session. It’s a long blank run, but that’s just how it goes here sometimes. Keep an eye on the forecasts though; they can change. Rusty out.
