Conditions at La Pierre de Cassis

La Pierre de Cassis is open to the sea from the ESE–SW, WNW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WSW–W.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon, Tue and Wed and a no-go on Sat (gusts). Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 19 °C at the surface and warm to about 54 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 4.2 km of open waterNNE: 3.8 km of open waterNE: 4.7 km of open waterENE: 8.1 km of open waterE: 13.6 km of open waterESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: 0.6 km of open waterW: 1.1 km of open waterWNW: 47.3 km of open waterNW: 4.7 km of open waterNNW: 4.2 km of open waterNESW
