Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start, but don’t let that fool you. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, and it’s all about one spot. This is a classic setup where patience pays off, with a couple of truly standout windows that are going to be worth marking on the calendar.
We’re looking at Chameau, a solid reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the SW. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the shorty might be a bit too much on the warmer days.
The first real action kicks off on Sunday, 13th July. Monday morning and afternoon both look excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got a clean 7ft SW groundswell (14-second period), with very light offshore winds on the afternoon session. The combined energy is pumping at a strong 1903 and 1876 respectively. This is going to be your classic, well-shaped reef waves. The morning is a cross-off, but that afternoon session with the ESE offshore is where it’s at. Be aware, this is an advanced wave, so leave the foamie at home.
The run continues into Tuesday, 14th July. The morning has a clean 6ft SSW swell with a moderate offshore breeze (1903 combined energy), dropping to a still very clean 6ft in the afternoon (1018 combined energy). Same story – excellent conditions for the experienced crew.
After a few smaller days, the real standout window is shaping up. Monday, 27th July is the one. The morning is pumping with a massive 10ft SSW groundswell, a very long 19-second period, and a fresh offshore wind. The combined energy is a monstrous 7235. This is a serious, powerful, long-period groundswell. For a reef break like Chameau, this is going to be absolutely world-class, but it’s strictly for experts. The afternoon is also huge at 10ft with an 18-second period from the SW. The wind holds offshore, albeit a bit stronger. This is the standout of the whole forecast.
Earlier in the week, on Sunday, 20th July, there’s a solid pulse of 10ft SSW swell, but with a strong cross-off wind, it’s going to be a bit of a battle. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on that day.
The Sunday, 26th July morning session is also a great option, with a clean 6ft SSW swell and a gentle offshore breeze. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is clean and consistent, with the 13th and 14th being the best of the early run. The second week has a massive, expert-only peak on the 27th that is the true highlight. Get on it, but know your limits.

Information about the Chameau Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Chameau provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Chameau can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Chameau 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 (Chameau) 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 Chameau 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.
