The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s size up the waves.
Water temp is about 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice.
Sunday morning at Chameau is a beast: 8ft of SSW swell at 14 seconds, but the wind is a strong offshore ESE at 28 mph. The wave energy is massive (2896), and it’s clean, but you’ll be paddling hard. Sunday afternoon eases to 7ft, still with a strong offshore.
Monday drops to 5ft in the morning, clean with a fresh offshore. Energy drops to 1104. Still a solid option for experienced surfers. Monday afternoon fades to 5ft.
Tuesday sees smaller 3ft S swell, moderate offshore wind, and clean. The energy is weaker (240), but it’s a fun, manageable day.
Wednesday is a washout – tiny 1.0ft swell with a 17-second period. Barely anything.
Thursday and Friday are marginal, with small, inconsistent energy.
Saturday, September 5th is the first real standout. 6ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, moderate offshore ESE at 12 mph. Energy is hefty (1158). Excellent for experienced surfers.
Sunday the 6th is smaller but cleaner, with a cross-off wind.
Monday, September 7th morning brings back 5ft SW swell, gentle offshore, clean.
Then Tuesday, September 8th is a monster. 15ft S swell at 16 seconds – that’s huge. The energy reading is 10033. The afternoon goes glassy, zero wind. For experts only.
Wednesday the 9th drops to 8ft, still solid. Thursday and Friday stay in the 5ft to 8ft range, with strong offshore winds.
The second week settles. Saturday the 12th has 4ft SSW swell, clean with gentle offshore. Sunday the 13th morning is glassy with 5ft SSW swell – a beautiful, clean session. Monday the 14th fades fast.
Best bets: Saturday September 5th for a solid, clean swell, and Tuesday September 8th for the huge, glassy bomb for experts only.

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.
