Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's shaking in the water at Fausse Passe.

Right now, the forecast is a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are a write-off, I'm afraid. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are offering nothing but messy, choppy conditions and poor surf. We’ll have to wait until Tuesday the 7th for any real size, but that comes with a nasty cross-onshore wind, making it lumpy and ugly. That trend of big, wind-affected swell continues right through to Thursday the 10th. The wave energy is huge – we're talking readings of over 14000 at times – but you just can't surf it properly in these winds. The swell is pushing 10ft to 13ft from the SSW, which is serious size, but it's all just blown out. It's a real shame.

After that rough patch, things start to look up. The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 11th. We’ve got a clean 6ft SSW swell with a perfect 12-second period, and the wind is... wait for it... glassy. That word means everything. The wave energy is still solid at 1885, but the conditions will be pristine for experienced surfers. It's gonna be clean, lined-up, and all-time. Sunday the 12th will also be clean with a 4ft SSE swell and a cross-off breeze, a great follow-up session.

The second week sees the energy drop off. From the 14th to the 20th, the swell gets much smaller, mostly in the 1ft to 5ft range. The winds turn offshore from the east and northeast which keeps the surface clean, but a lot of this is for the die-hards on small-wave gear. The morning of Saturday the 19th looks like the best of the later period with a light offshore wind and a little 3ft SSW swell with a 14-second period – clean, but small. The water temperature is about 74°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

For a spot like this, it's all about timing. The big, bad swell is a kite-surfer's dream, but for the rest of us, hold out for Saturday the 11th. That's where the magic is.

Information about the Fausse Passe Surf forecast

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