The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at *Anse Trabaud* for the next sixteen days, and I’ll be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. The water is sitting at a warm 83°F, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort.
The pattern for the whole period is dominated by a persistent east to east-northeast wind, blowing 15 to 22 mph, and it’s almost always cross or cross-onshore. That means the surface is gonna be choppy, lumpy, or just plain messy more often than not. The first solid week is a real grind. From Friday, July 31st, right through to the end of the following week, the call is "poor surf conditions" every single day. The swell hangs around 4ft to 6ft, mostly from the east-northeast, with short periods of just 6 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, wind-driven stuff, with combined wave energy readings ranging from 117 to 513 for the whole run – moderate at best, but mostly weak. The consistency is "fairly consistent," but when the quality is this poor, that doesn’t mean much.
You’ll notice a gap of about a week with no real hope. The best you can say is that the swell doesn’t completely flatline; it’s just that the wind ruins it. Into the second week, around August 10th and 11th, the swell ticks up a bit, hitting 6ft from the east with a period climbing to 8 seconds. The combined energy pushes into the 400s, which is at least moderate, but the wind is still a fresh 19 mph, blowing cross-shore. It’s still lumpy.
For a beginner-friendly spot, the size is okay for a confident beginner up to about 5ft, but once it hits 5ft and above, it gets a bit much for the less experienced. With the wind and chop, it’s honestly not looking like a great paddle. The setup is a beach, and with this much cross-shore wind and lumpy surface, it might actually be more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle crew.
There is no standout. There is no moment where the stars align. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality waves. Sometimes you just get a blank run, and that’s the reality here. Hang tight, check the charts again in a few days.
Rusty.
