The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough outlook for Villefranche-sur-Mer. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of flat or near-flat conditions with almost nothing worth paddling out for. The first real sign of anything happens on Tuesday the 11th, but it’s tiny—just 1ft of weak, short-period swell from the SW, with a combined wave energy of only (3). That’s barely a ripple. The wind is glassy in the morning, so it’ll be clean, but you’d be better off swimming than surfing.
We then hit a proper gap: from Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Tuesday the 18th, there’s nothing at all. Not even a bump. Then on Tuesday the 18th morning, we get a small pulse—3ft from the SW, with a period of just 5 seconds, and a combined energy of (49). That’s still weak energy, but with clean, cross-offshore wind from the NW, it’ll be the closest thing to a surfable wave in this whole forecast. Even so, it’s poor surf conditions across the board.
Later, on Wednesday the 19th morning, there’s a glassy window with 3ft from the ENE, period 4 seconds, energy (48). It’s clean, but again, tiny and weak. After that, it’s back to flatness with only a few tiny pulses under 2ft.
There’s no standout session here, nothing to get excited about. The break itself is a reef setup that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this isn’t surprising. For a surfer, this is a write-off. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the morning of Tuesday the 18th or Wednesday the 19th for a clean but small wave, but don’t expect much. For now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.
