Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Vazon Bay faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Tuesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Vazon Bay faces north-west. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from W round to NE; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

W: 0.5 m at 9 s (swell) · 100 % reaches the beach
SE: 0.2 m at 2 s (wind sea) · blocked, 0 %

How Vazon Bay works

Swell: Best from the north-west.
Wind: Offshore is from the south-east; anything with north-west in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide: all tides.
