Analysis of the report
A bit of a swell this morning, more or less clean, but the wind is soon going to mess it up!
🌊 Swell: 70 to 80 cm from the North-West, period around 6 to 8 seconds, with a small, longer West component around 10 s. This generally gives us waves of 50 to 80 cm
💨 Wind: Light North-Westerly early in the morning then around 15 knots / 25–30 km/h, so onshore and quite noticeable
🌊 High water: 08:17 – 5.10 m
🌊 Low tide: 14:20 – 1.13 m
🌊 High water: 20:29 – 5.21 m
📊 Coefficients : 95 → 90
✅ Best time slot: 9:30 AM–12 PM, looking for the sandbank that works best on the ebb tide.
🏄 Recommended level: suitable for all abilities, still doable on a shortboard for the keen beans
Not perfect, but enough to go and catch a few waves! 😎
🤙 Happy surfing, guys!
