Forecasts come from ~8 km resolution models: very local effects (a sheltering pier, a lagoon pass) are not captured.
The sea state is read as close to the beach as the model allows, without our having verified that this water is the water at the shore (indented coast, ria, head of a bay). Take it as an order of magnitude: what comes in from open sea may not reach this far.
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.

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)

Worth knowing
These waters shelter spectacular marine life, from red and yellow gorgonian fans to colonies of red coral tucked into underwater crevices, a living testament to the richness protected within the national park.
