Club Med Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Club Med. Over the next couple of weeks, it’s a slow start and a whole lot of small, weak surf. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from late in the first week through the second week, so you’ve gotta pick your window.

Starting Sunday the 13th, we’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the SW, 12-second period, with a light offshore breeze. It’s clean but weak, energy at 90. You could get a couple of knee-high ones, but nothing special. Monday’s the same story: 2ft from the SSW, offshore wind, still very ordinary.

Tuesday the 15th is the one to circle. Swell stays around 2ft, but the period jumps to 16 seconds—proper long-period groundswell. Combined energy hits 235, which is moderate, and with a light ENE cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean. That long period gives the waves some real punch and shape at this reef break, but expect longer waits between sets. Best morning of the week. Wednesday the 16th morning is also decent: 2ft SSW at 14 seconds, clean with a light NNW cross-off, energy at 202. Good, but Tuesday’s better.

From Thursday the 17th, it turns ugly. Onshore and cross-onshore winds, chop, and the swell drops. Thursday and Friday are poor. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th have offshore wind again, but the swell is tiny—1ft—with short periods and very low energy. Not worth the paddle.

Monday the 21st through the end of the forecast is mostly poor. Small swell, 1ft to 2ft, and while there are some clean moments, the energy stays low. The 23rd and 24th have onshore wind and chop. There’s a brief pulse of longer period on the 21st afternoon (16 seconds, 129 energy), but it’s still small and rated poor. By the 28th, the surf is barely there.

Water temperature is about average for this time of year.

Bottom line: Tuesday the 15th morning is your standout. That long-period SSW groundswell with clean offshores is the best quality you’ll see. Wednesday morning is a solid backup. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, weak, or choppy conditions, so don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
