The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re talking about Chameau, a reef break that’s consistent, takes SW swell, and is for advanced surfers only. The start is slow.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th have waves around 4ft, with a long period, but the comments say marginal. Offshore wind, but tide issues. Combined energy is moderate (857 to 1014). Not much going on.
Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are cleaner. Swell stays around 4ft, SW, with moderate offshore winds. The comments say “very good.” Energy is still moderate (598 to 940). Small but clean.
Thursday the 13th is similar.
Friday the 14th morning is the first real step up. Swell hits 6ft from the SW, period 13 seconds. Energy jumps to 1358 – solid. The call is “excellent for experienced surfers.” But the afternoon gets a bit messy with a fresh breeze.
Saturday the 15th is a big day. Morning has 6ft from the S with a 20-second period, energy at 3929. Strong. Then afternoon: 10ft from the SSW, 19-second period, energy at a huge 6613. Very strong. Wind is fresh offshore, but the size and long period (over 15 seconds) makes this strictly for experts. 10ft at a reef is no joke. This afternoon is a major standout if you’re skilled enough.
Sunday the 16th keeps the 10ft from the SSW, period at 16 seconds, energy still very strong (4715 and 4168). Same deal – big, clean, but only for the experienced.
Monday the 17th drops to around 5ft to 6ft, with rain and fresh winds. Marginal.
Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 21st sees waves settle to 3ft to 4ft. Some “good” and “very good” calls, but energy is weak to moderate (366 to 685). A mellow run.
Friday the 21st morning has small 3ft from the SW but a 16-second period. Clean with a gentle cross-offshore wind. Nice for a longboard.
Saturday the 22nd is mixed – clean morning, but afternoon gets a cross-onshore breeze and choppy.
Now, the absolute best of the whole forecast: Sunday the 23rd. Morning brings 10ft from the SSW, 15-second period, energy at 3348. And the wind is glass. Completely glassy. The call is “excellent for experienced surfers.” This is it. Perfect conditions. Afternoon is still 8ft and glassy. Monday the 24th follows with 7ft and a gentle offshore, also excellent. The weekend of the 23rd and 24th is the winner.
So, the top picks: Saturday the 15th afternoon for raw, powerful, expert-only surf with very strong energy. But the true standout is Sunday the 23rd morning – 10ft, SSW, glassy, at a consistent reef. Mark that one down.
Expect crowds here, especially on a Sunday with conditions like that.

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.
