G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up about Villefranche sur Mer for the next couple weeks – it’s a quiet stretch, mate. This is a reef break that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area. We’ve got no solid surf on the cards at all; everything’s rated as poor surf conditions through the entire 16-day window.
The first hint of anything rideable shows up on Saturday 4th July morning, but it’s only 0.3ft from the west with a weak 2 combined energy and a period of just 5 seconds – honestly, that’s barely a ripple. The wind is glassy early, which would be fantastic if there was any swell to work with.
We hit a total flat spell from Sunday 5th July through to Friday 17th July, with zeros across the board for wave energy. Some mornings are glassy, like Monday 13th and 15th July, but there’s simply nothing to surf.
The only tiny blip of life comes on Saturday 11th July afternoon, where we see a 2ft easterly swell with a combined energy of 15 and a period of 4 seconds – still poor conditions, and the period is too short to hold much shape. Then Sunday 12th July morning has 1.0ft from the south, period 5 seconds, combined energy 7, with glassy conditions, but again, tiny and weak.
Even the last few days, like Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July morning, only show 0.7ft to 1.0ft from the south-southwest with combined energy of 1 or 2. The water temps aren’t mentioned, so we’ll skip that.
Bottom line: no standouts here at all. This is a spot that needs a proper southerly or southerly groundswell to wake up, and it’s just not happening within this forecast. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
