The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Villefranche sur Mer is a tough one. We're looking at a real flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water is sitting at a balmy 83°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can at least enjoy a nice swim.

The first week is a write-off. From the 27th of July right through to the 3rd of August, we're looking at tiny waves, mostly under 1ft, with a combined swell energy reading of just 7 (weak) at best. The wind is often light and variable, sometimes glassy which is nice for the ocean surface, but there's just no push to ride. The whole setup is a dud for surf.

We hit a bit of a gap with no rideable surf at all on the 4th, but then on the morning of the 6th of August, we get a tiny glimmer of hope. The swell is from the SW at 2ft with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is still only 18 (weak). The wind is calm and glassy, which is great, but the wave itself is just a little bump. It's not really a standout, just the least bad option in a very poor run.

The 11th of August morning shows a similar story: 2ft from the SSW, period of 4 seconds, and a combined energy of 12 (weak). The wind is glassy again, but again, it's just not enough to call it a proper surf. The whole 16 days is a flat, frustrating outlook. The break is a rarely breaking reef, and this forecast shows exactly why. It tends to stay this poor for a while, and the forecasts can't change that for now.

Rusty.

Information about the Villefranche sur Mer Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Villefranche sur Mer provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Villefranche sur Mer can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Villefranche sur Mer 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 (Villefranche sur Mer) 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 Villefranche sur Mer 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.
