The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The start of the period is grim. Onshore winds and lumpy sea state are throwing everything off for days. There’s a real dry spell before anything decent pops up. First real chance doesn’t come until Tuesday, September 1st.
Tuesday morning gives a small window at Belle Ile. You’ve got a clean 5ft W swell, around 10 seconds between waves, and a light cross-off breeze from the NE. Wave energy comes in moderate at 313. It’s not big, but it’s clean and surfable. That’s the first chance to get out there.
The clear winner is Saturday, September 5th. That morning at Belle Ile, expect a solid 5ft W-NW groundswell with an 11-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the NNE. Water temp sits near 67°, about normal for the season. The combined energy is strong at 553. Lines will be clean and well-shaped. That’s the highlight of the whole 16-day run. After that, things drop off fast – small swell and less favorable winds take over the following week.
All in all, you’ve got one solid morning on Saturday the 5th, and a backup on Tuesday the 1st. The rest is mostly small, weak, or blown out. Saturday’s the one to circle.

Information about the Belle Ile Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Belle Ile provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Belle Ile can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Belle Ile surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Belle Ile) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Belle Ile may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
