Offshore, waves of 0,20 m are forecast; 0,04 m reach the shore: 80% less, because the wave is not heading for this beach, it runs past it.
The wind blows from the Mistral at 14 km/h: it comes off the land and keeps the wave down. Today's wave is mixed: part raised by the local wind, part arriving from far away. Even when the wind eases it does not disappear entirely.
