Forecasts come from ~8 km resolution models: very local effects (a sheltering pier, a lagoon pass) are not captured.
Sea-state data comes from a marine model cell about 9.7 km from this point — local nearshore conditions can differ.
Wave heights are significant heights: individual waves up to 2× this height still occur.
Four wave models are compared for this point: EWAM, GWAM, Météo-France WAM and ECMWF WAM.
Tide times derived from modelled sea level (± a few tens of minutes) — not official tide tables.
Missing data is shown as missing — never silently estimated.

Good visibility.
Loss of bearings and collision risk
Post-rain pollution · 0 mm over 24 h
When it rains hard, runoff from roads and fields and sewer overflows carry bacteria out to sea. Nothing significant has fallen in the last 24 hours.
Official sampling is weekly at best; between two samples, recent rain is the recognized warning signal (EEA)
Jellyfish: no recent info. If you're there, tell us what you see — even “none” helps the next swimmer.
Modelled depths (EMODnet, the European seabed model), stated without the tide: at low water there is less. A swimming bearing, never a navigation aid.
Do you know whether this beach is lifeguarded?
Access is typically on foot via a path or small rocky cove along the coast.
Worth knowing
These waters host remarkable marine life, including red coral, gorgonians, and the rare giant limpet, reflecting the richness of Corsica's rocky seabeds.
